Chosen Blog: CrunchGear
Chosen Post: Chart: How the Nook stacks up in the e-reader race
The blog that I found myself following a lot was “CrunchGear” and “TechCrunch”. They are two related blogs one focusing on hardware and the other more on technology. Both cover varied subjects and overlap a bit. Subjects would include software and it release dates, the development of it, what companies and parties are related to it. They will compare against rival and previous software too. They also do the same with the related hardware and so.
The post, or few posts that I followed were that of eReader competition and development. An example of one of the posts:

The majority of eReader related posts were written by a Mr. John Biggs. He began (from when I started following his posts) with Amazons Kindle and its development and what services Amazon provided for it and such. Then he introduced specifications and price differences.
Then after a few days he caught wind of Barnes And Nobles Nook eReader, something to rival the Kindle. He compared the Nook and Kindle in every way, covering the pros and cons of the devices.
I found that his blogs were very informative and satisfying, as I have a keen interest in the development of technology in relation to its software and how tactile it physically is. He presented images of the devices were words were not needed, allowing for a faster and clearer intake of what the devices actually looked like. He also provides video when he wants to give a clearer understanding of how the eReaders are actually used.
I find that his target audience are those with a bit of knowledge in technology, whom want or need updates on what type of new technology is being presented to the world and where it stands in light of what is actually already out there.
His postings were regular but he doesn’t send a lot of feedback. People who make comments on his discuss with each other or make a statement.
