Listen to a variety of voices by checking out Blogs.

Blog, a contraction of ‘web’ and ‘log’, it’s almost always written by one person. It’s that person’s take on the world, heavy on the opinion. It can be a website, part of a website or hosted by a site with lots of blogs where each is editorially independent. If it’s part of a web site for an organization selling a product, service or idea, the editorially control rests with the organization. Doesn’t mean don’t read it, just evaluate what you read based on where it’s coming from and who, if anyone is paying for the opinion.
In its purist form, blogs allow people to share experiences and ideas; meet interesting people. Friends and relatives followed my daughter’s blog about living in China. Twenty-somethings and older blog. I wish more teenagers would. I read an article just this morning that they don’t want to make that time commitment. They’d rather text, tweet or status update in 140 words or less.
