Maryanne and Kerry's Blog

Tuesday 29th Aug (In need of coffee) Well Kerry, I have lurked in www.topica.com for a week now in the area of 'punk rock' I had a number of tasks to observe:

  • To identify the roles people are taking - There seems to be a number of gurus who post info about when the next band will be playing or the latest record. Not many people visit this site. (28, 27, 18, 11, 25 in a week) Maybe our choice is not very popular Kerry! There seems to be a lot of old activity (past times)
  • Stats - A range of a few lines of cryptic comments to a full blown site of a purple punk comic strip. I liked this one as it had some humor added to it. A site where one person was taking the lead as the information centre. Not much movement in and out of the site. To sum up I felt that this was a list of a group of people who posted info about punk - totally disconnected and not cohesive The rationale for this was there was little or no interaction between the topics and postings. It was run more like a bulletin board and topics or interests were not discussed.

What do you feel Kerry?

  • Same feeling about this one Maryanne. The idea of this blogg seems to be just to ramble on yourself, no real connection. A place to get something off your chest or state band/music info. Not much increase in numbers so perhaps a bad choice to lurk in.
    I'll shall lurk elsewhere.

  • It is the luck of the draw what we select Kerry and the purpose if a posting has so much possibilities.
