Mostly Skateboarding Blog

While creating my own blog I thought that it would be a good idea to check out what other skate board blogs are talking about.  One blog that seems to be the leader of the pack is http://www.mostlyskateboarding.net/ as well as http://127skate.webs.com/.  This link which I provided will lead you to the other skate blog that this post will be analyzing.  This blog mostly deals with video submissions, which technically is a video log but yet this is still under the umbrella of a blog.  This blog was extremely interesting since all the videos were super cool and very entertaining.  I also liked how extremely simple the blog was.  There are virtually no updates in regards to typed letters but every month there are new videos that fellow skaters submitted.  Personally this a genius plans since this blog is generating traffic and revenue by using other skater’s ideas and videos.  This site was also interesting since there was a section for updates regarding new parks.  This section had photo updates of the construction of new parks.  What I also liked about this blog is that it included a twitter section.  Personally I find twitter to be the largest waste of time and really the most pathetic way of communicating ever, but the owner of this blog is making a small fortune from it.  Overall this a very creative blog in the sense that the owner just chooses videos he likes from the submissions and puts them into his blog.  This in an ingenious idea which allows him to be extremely versatile and offer a plethora of different skate videos each month.
