Hey, everybody.
My apologies about the last blog. My internet went out for a little while, and by the time Time Warner Cable came to fix it, it was way past the deadline. I tried going on my friend's computer, but I forgot my password since it was saved on my computer. Essentially, I had a bad weekend.
Encyclopedia dramatica, as discussed in class, is a satirical website making a mockery of everything from politics to lifestyles. As shown in class, it is set up exactly like Wikipedia, with the same layout, search engines, and ideals; a free website where every article is posted anonymously and can be updated and changed by anyone. The article I chose speaks of "trolling" which is the main thing done on Encyclopedia dramatica. It also talks about the Craigslist Experiment and 4chan.org, which is similar to Encyclopedia dramatica. When you get down to it, Encyclopedia dramatica is a site you can go to for a good laugh or a smile and NOT something you should look into for any real facts or to do research on.
Thanks, and have a good night.
AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a great site, very funny. I wish I had heard about it a long time ago.
I really like Encyclopedia dramatica. I watch shows like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report and Real Time with Bill Maher, because I like their politicl satire and I can now go on Encyclopedia dramatica for more political satire or just for a laugh.
