For our week 2 assignment, to review two blogs from The Top Ten Blogs Following Web 2.0, by Brian Wynne Williams, the first blog I chose was number 10. This blog is by Brian Benzinger and titled SolutionWatch . Brian Wynne Williams says "Brian Benzinger provides well-written, in-depth reviews of emerging sites", however. when I checkout the blog, it's simply an archive. It has not been updated since 2007. There is a note from Brian Benzinger saying something along the lines of he hopes to get back to updating the blog when time allows.
Hmmm....last post in 2007 and now it's well past the halfway point in 2013. Maybe this one should not listed in the top 10 anymore. What is there is well written and thoughtful, but it is all old news. Definitely, not what I have expected from one of the Top 10, even when it is the one in last place.
I definitely agree that this assignment should be updated a little bit. It would benefit from using a different "Top 10" list....maybe one from this decade. :-)
ReplyDelete7 years is a LONG time in web years. ;-) I think it might be more than dog years! According to some that is 2.6 months is a "Web Year" (http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/FAQ.html) so that would make that list 32 years old in the real world! Yikes!!
