The blog in regards to a "third place"

This blog has very few characteristics of a third place that were defined in Tuesday's lecture. However, I think once you get beyond the fact that it isn't publicly accessible, and is meant solely for our section of students, you would be able to notice a few more third place characteristics within the blog, such as #1 neutral ground, #3 conversation is main activity, #4 accessibility and accommodation, and #5 regulars, just to mention a few.

    I totally agree with you. When I think of third places the blog definitely did not come to mind. This would not be my typical type of third place, but with respect to the class I believe that the blog could be a third place. Great idea!
