Blogger Review

The Blogger I am covering this week is Craig Blaha, a privacy, secrecy, and social media researcher at UT Austin. Craig teaches many undergraduate courses including classes on "Social Media and Privacy" and "The Internet and Public Policy." Along with teaching, Craig has numerous academic and professional publishings found in chapters within books. Craig is new to the blogging scene, where he has only been posting since November 2011 on his blog "Blogging Google". (http://technorati.com/technology/gadgets/article/google-glasses-bring-the-web-to/).

In this post Craig writes about a new gadget that may become available by the end of the year. He calls the product "Google Glasses," a pair of sunglasses that will allow users to see everything they normally could on a smartphone, but through a pair of sunglasses. The product would retail for around the same price a smartphone sells for, which is approximately $260-$600. While the "Google Glasses" will alleviate pain from one's neck, it may cause for some awkward situations.

The first thing that caught my eye on Craig's blog was that he had a header. I found this unusual for a blog, but highly enjoyable. The header was a nice visual, very attractive and clear. I also liked how Craig attached links for the Oakley website, allowing viewers to seek further information. However, one aspect I did not like was that Craig didn't have many factual sources; The only source was an unnamed and this lead can lead to speculation. I also would have liked some more information on this post.
