HW#14 Take an Obsession and Feed It!

After reading Denton's interview in the "Blog" book (151-157) we were asked to respond to it so that it showed that we understood the reading as well as using transition words from Graff's “As A Result." Starting out he says how blogging in when you take an obsession and feed it, I believe this is true. In fact you do take an obsession and feed it because you continue to add onto your topic whenever you get some new interesting information. Also he talks about how he only hires unknown writers to work on his blogs instead of already established journalist. Actually I think it’s a great idea, and a great way to get unknown writers out there. Although he says how it’s better to pitch to an 18-34 year old male demographic. But I do have to disagree with this because when you only pitch to a male demographic you’re losing all the women’s responses in the advertising business. Consequently taking a chance to not be recognized. Nonetheless he says how some advertisers may not even look at any site unless it has 5 million unique visitors a month. In conclusion I think that the interview was a great interview and I enjoyed reading it.
