Write a 4-6 page paper exploring your community, using the tools and tactics we’ve talked about in class– such as Quantcast, Technorati, AllTop, blog rolls, etc– to explore which bloggers and topics have prominence.

Provide an overview of the space your blog falls into, as well as the top bloggers and the subjects they write about. Which issues do they cover? What type of bloggers are they? Do they manage a personal diary or are they aggregators, or something else? Are they popular, trusted, engaging or influential? Where else do they have a presence and how do they connect that to their blog?

Papers are due Thursday, October 27 at 8 p.m. in my Gmail account. Please see the syllabus for other paper requirements and let me know if you have questions.
