Everyday murmers, complaints and thoughts. Typical blog-stuff, you know the deal. And with the same lay-out... http://rg1cline.blogdrive.com/comments?id=30 http://rg1cline.blogdrive.com/archive/29.html Fri, 25 Jun 2004 15:35:43 GMT Here is the link to my final paper. The notes will be added soon. http://rg1cline.blogdrive.com/comments?id=29 http://rg1cline.blogdrive.com/archive/28.html Fri, 25 Jun 2004 14:47:08 GMT Okay, I'm finished! But it's a bit late, so it will be online about half past 4. Sorry for the delay. http://rg1cline.blogdrive.com/comments?id=28 http://rg1cline.blogdrive.com/archive/27.html Thu, 24 Jun 2004 23:42:07 GMT I never do my homework at night, but since my paper is due tomorrow, and I have to catch a train at 9.30, I have to wound this up now. I'm getting more tired each minute, and with that my motivation and positive attitude is diminishing. I only have to do a chapter on Kerry's blog, a conclusion and then some finishing touches. I'll probably do the finishing touches tomorrow morning, like adjusting endnotes, making headers and printing the whole thing. I will put the paper online tomorrow afternoon because I don't want it on this blog (that's a sure scrolling death). My boyfriend will...

Luckily I've decided to stick with the branding of the candidates' images. This seems a more alternative angle than most articles. I've joined the bloggers on the Blogging of the President site. I still am not sure if Chris Lydon is a Republican or a Democrat and why this site is set up, but I'm hoping this will become more clear to me soon. Is it so that "The transformation" I'm reading so much about indicates a pro-Kerry...

Eonline Like I have mentioned to Shenja, I can’t think of anything useful to say about e-online. The main discussion in the werkcollege last week was that it is mainly focused on famous people that are branding themselves by showing up in all kinds of media and letting themselves be sponsored by image brands adhering to a trend. The fact that the site relies on pop-ups and subscription makes it very irritating. It’s a gossip-based site with flashy pictures of celebrities with reviews by people that review a movie or a...

The US Army It seems weird to brand governmental institutions. Nevertheless, America has accomplished it both with the presidential elections as with the American army. The marketing of the US army is extensive and very tactical (just like the army itself I guess). Now, the newest medium attributed is the internet: sites with information and even a warfare game have to attract young American citizens to join. The site is developed to inform interested visitors, but also to attract recruits. Its main focus ofcourse is...

First because it's a bit late now, and two, because I don't have time to make my last H2O assignment AND my paper AND the Q&A. The articles about journalism and blogging were very interesting though, and I will probably write something abouit that in the future on my personal blog. I have read everything I needed too for this course and will use some of the articles for my paper. About my paper... Writing about John Kerry was more interesting than I thought and I've decided to...

I know it's taking a long time, but I didn't want to do it half-assed even though Homer says so: " Lisa, if you don't like your job you don't strike, you just go in every day and do it really half-assed - that's the American way." Gotta love those Simpsons. John Kerry's Blog Kerry as brand ‘The official John Kerry blog’ is a rather extensive site about John Kerry that is updated on a daily basis to imitate the experience of a personal blog. While Kerry probably does not make the notes themselves, the site’s main focus are...

I'm working very hard on that late h20 assignment about branding and sites, but John Kerry's blog is taking up a lot of time (only because I'm interested in it). I'm hoping to finish the entire assignment friday. Next to that I have been giving my paper a lot of thought. I'm sticking with Nationstates and how online games and the selling of books interrelate. I actually wanted to focus more broadly on how books are advertised on the net and use Nationstates as one of many examples, but I prefer to just discuss Nationstates...
