This week, the unit requirement was to comment on blogs worth monitoring.

The one that captured my interest week in, week out, was Jeff Jarvis’ BuzzMachine.

 His blogs are continually entertaining and informative, but I do wonder how he finds the time to blog almost every single day.  Take a look at his ‘about me’ page and you’ll know what I’m talking about!

Some of my favourite blogs by Mr Jarvis over the preceeding couple of months are: –

No Bullshit here (Nov 25, 2008) – A blog about Mr Jarvis as a blogger being pitted against traditional journalists.

A powerful memorial (Oct 19, 2008) – A blog with images that’s touching.

It is our fault (Oct 8, 2008) – A blog about journalists being to blame for newspaper readership dwindlings.

They can be found by following this link.

His ’tell it how it is’ attitude appeals to the internet audience, and the blogs are interactive.  Just take a look at the number of comments he receives.

Buzzmachine really is a fine example of a high-standard blog site.
