Week 2: Seeking a best

Blog is the trend what we express to public. There are lots of different kinds of blog on the internet. We always see the Podcasting blog like Youtube, personal blog like Xanga and so. But what are the characteristics between each of the different blogs? I am going to introduce a Music blog which is a best blog I have seen before.

Pitchfork is one of the best music blogs that provide the most updates music information. It is a blog about music news with specific comments for each entry. The blog is very organized with three main columns in the middle of the blog and a map on the left side of the webpage. On the top of the blog, it has nice banner with the reviews of the podcasting stuffs and the features of the blog. Pitchfork uses few very contrastable colors with orange, blue and grey to show that music is funny and relaxing. This is important, why? What makes us to browse more or stay longer on the internet? It is the design of the webpage and the attractive information.

The blog is not only talk about the newest music, it also discuss the old music. The most attractive is the ‘forkcasting’ which means podcasting. You can listen the mp3 they have online without download it which is important to save audiences’ time. Also, it has the top 50 albums and top 100 tracks to show that which one is good, which one is top hit recently. I believe you will not outdate if you keep visit this blog every week. Overall, this is a great blog and you will enjoy it.
