This blog post is going to be a little different. It will focus on an analysis of ESPN
Chicago’s blog on the White Sox. I chose
to focus on this particular blog because ESPN is a well respected sports and
news source and is sure to generate a substantial amount of traffic compared to
other blog sites. The overall first
impression of ESPN’s blog is appealing.
It is simple but also makes sure to draw attention to the important posts
with pictures of players, coaches and announcers. As far as the content, I was somewhat
surprised that majority of the information consists of interviews and quotes
from players and coaches. Although this
information is important, blogs should focus more on commentary and opinions as
opposed to strictly facts and news.
There are also a great number of posts occurring on the same day. This can be viewed both as a positive and a
negative. Although the site allows for a
vast amount of information to be displayed an caters to many fans interests,
sometimes the number of posts can be too much.
This is evident by the low number of comments by users on the
posts.
Most of the comments here have been somewhat negative, but
that is not the point intended. There is
a vast amount of important information located on the blog that provides fans
and enthusists with sufficient information to stay informed with the Chicago
White Sox. Feel free to check out the blog and post your comments or concerns
here.
