The blog that I have chosen for this assignment is 'I Watch Stuff'. I Watch Stuff is an entertainment blog covering the latest in movie news, clips, and trailers. I Watch Stuff was launched in October of 2005 and is part of the Anticlown Media network. According to its website it has a single writer Mark who has written for I Watch Stuff since January 2006. This blog also has guest authors and writers who contribute if Mark allows them to!

This blog has regular updates, news and blogs for readers to enjoy. It is well laid out and uses buzzwords, jargon and colloquial language in its posts. Its three main pages are called celebrity, entertainment and technology but it also has sections on advertising, the sites FAQ, and contact details. All the links are well laid out and the site has a nice background and colour scheme.

The posts may have thumbnail pictures and videos embedded in them which can really immerse the reader and capture their attention. Its target audience are those interested in entertainment, cinema, tv, celebrities and visual technology. It does it job and manages to have high bandwith of traffic so is highly popular.

My favorite post:

It shows the release of James Camerons film Avatar's new trailer. This is one of the most anticipated films of all time. James Cameron has released all hugely successful popular films such as Aliens, The Terminator, Titanic massive Oscar winning and hugely grossing films.
