Summary of the past few weeks

Console war is my first blog, and everything is all new experience to me (though I've known blog for quite a while already, ironic). I find that, without actually operating a blog of my own, I wouldn't really understand how blog works. Blog represents not only my identity, but also my interest and some of my personality. Blog is much better than the personal websites that was famous a few years ago because the personal website back then (web 1.0) only allows people to read info's about the host. And Blog allows not only checking out host's information, but it allows guests to comment on the host's diaries, and also it has the tag function that could direct visitors to other blogs who has same interests. The tagging gives more possibilities, more directions and paths for people to travel through internet, but not having to type in website address all the time or find them on our bookmarks. Back to my blog, Console war discuss about the next-generation market fight between the three consoles, Xbox360, PS3 and Wii. The War actually began long time ago since 2004 E3 when the representative of each company announce of coming of new console. Since then, players and 3rd party developers has been gathering information (positive and negatives) of all three console to see which console we should put money on (developing a game is quite expensive, the profit usually result in red if the game copies sold doesn't reach certain amount) As a core player, I am also interested of how the next-gen console share the market. I am glad that there are quite amount of people joined the discussion since beginning of my blog, I guess it is the topic that attracts people in. Other than building up my own website, I also visit classmates blogs and comment on their postings. Here I must mention that it makes people give up on giving comments if we have to register another account rather than using anonymous or type in any names replying people's post. For instance, I was planning to reply on Andrew's animation blog but then I have to register something... pretty annoying to me and so I just tend to reply on other blogs. Other than that, many interesting blogs going on in the class and each blog shows some of their personal identity to all of us. For example, Todd is writing about mashups (though I don't know how to comment on it but I think its cool from the links he provide on his blog), Akash gives his perspective of thought on designing and copy right issues, Raymond discusses about use of hybrid cars and Peter talks about comics, which is also my favourite thing to do in my leisure time. Communication through internet, gain knowledge from other's posts, read how people approach to their goal meanwhile build up my own blog (and be sure to maintain my theme and style of the blog) is what I experience during this exercise.
