The blog that I have chosen to follow and study is called Awful Announcing. It is a sports blog created by Brian Powell on Tuesday May 16, 2006. According to Brian Powell, “The site focuses mainly on the perils and follies of the Sports Media, but also critiques and reviews those within the Sports World. The site has been mentioned on Sports Center, ESPN Radio, WFAN, and various newspapers throughout the Country.” When first looking at this blog I noticed numerous things. There are many posts by Powell, who is also known as AA.
Personally, I like the way the blog is organized. It is done in a way where information is easy to access and there is little no advertising. The only advertisement on this blog is something called YBN. This is also known as Yardbarker Network. YBN is a widget that you can download that helps one organize his or her blogs. They promote blogs, with promises of increasing traffic, and increasing the wealth of a user. They feature thousands of sport websites and blogs.
This blog features postings by Powell who is Awful Announcing and two contributors. The two contributors are Signal to Noise and Extrapolater. The home page of the blog features links to various other blogs that are friends with AA and links to current sporting schedules.
Overall, this blog seems like one that gets a lot of attention and I am glad to be studying it.
