Comments please

Being able to comment openly on the web has transformed the way many sites and industries orient themselves to the public. Governments and school districts post possible changes for public opinion. Individuals look for feedback on possible purchases. Newspapers debate whether the comments; negative, positive, and ignorant, deserve attention on their sites. In the correct context commenting can be fruitful and freeing so I feel that it is important for online communities

Just as most research journals are moving online to allow for easier dissemination and commentary I feel that benefits students who may be writing online too. The ability to have a community aid in the instruction of peers can be very powerful if done well.

I have chosen to follow three of the colleagues with whom I work most closely. Mostly out of interest and comfort. We rarely have the chance to spend much time together out of the office or see each other through our writing so it's fun to interact with them on the web. As for my tags, most just refer to key terms in each of my posts in order to help keep them organized.
