Social Capital?

This blog may be considered a "low key" third place. It follows many of the characteristics discussed in class: it is on neutral ground where we all can come and go as we please, conversation is the main activity, it is very accessible, given we all have access to a computer, and, posting will become regular, though it is not expected everyday. I think this blog most represents neutral ground, because it gives us all, shy or not, a chance to talk at our leisure, without feeling the pressure of thinking on the spot. Moreover, I would consider this a type of bonding. Within this class, though we do have different interests, ethnicities, and culural backgrounds, I don't think there are any discrepancies in getting to know each other. We won't really have to go out of our comfort zone bridging to get to know others of the same age, and common purpose attending this school.
