The Blog as a Third Place

For our community I think that we can consider the blog a third place. It is a low profile area since our discussion can only take part in it. For us, the blog is a place to create a conversation with out having to worry about any negative remarks. The blog is also is easily accessible for all of us because we all have access to a computer and the internet.

  1. I think you are correct that the blog can be considered a third place because it creates conversation and is low profile, but it doesn't necessarily prevent negative remarks because it can be viewed and commented on by anyone with a blogger account. I think this actually makes it more of a third place because really anyone can try it out and experience our blog, just as people can try Starbucks or walk into a library.
