It's safe to say that we all like to sit at our computer and waste time by playing games, watching videos, and just surfing the net. I myself like to structure my "time wasting" by visiting a set websites and blogs that I enjoy reading. A favorite blog that I read often is http://krebsonsecurity.com/. The author of this blog talks about the latest computer security vulnerabilities and other related computer security topics. He describes everything from his personal experiences on security to the latest news and report that is currently happening in the security world. He writes in such a way that both the technical and non-technical can learn something from the articles [0]. Blogs such as this is not only entertaining but instructional.
There is a large range of diversity among blogs. The content can range from journals of daily activities to serious commentaries on important issues [1]. Some blog journal can get really personal, the author would write about their emotional feelings of their daily life. Blogs provide an easy way for an average person to publish material on any topic that he or she wishes to discuss on the web [2]. Blogs have become a way to distribute information.

The insight into what blogs your interested in brings a nice personal touch to the post as it shows your familiarity with the subject but with the provided example. After looking at the blog example you gave it is very interesting to see what kind of leaks and security risks are going on in the world.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see maybe some insight into how other may go about finding blogs like the one you linked to or how to get started blogging themselves.
Most of the blogs that I find are through friends that work in the security industry.
