  1. 1.) Maybe "blogging isn't journalism" could mean that you don't have to share every information, every little step, that had been said from the media for about a hundred times.
    2.) Replacing journalism could mean that there'll be no media, no news at TV or radio, just reading different blogs, getting the information from them.
    3.)A Blogosphere could describe a world where are blogs and bloggers everywhere, everyone is blogging, posting, commenting.
    4.) A first blogger could be someone who had the idea about posting something really special, and they're always people after him who're posting about the same thing.
    5.) Blogger like writing about themselves, they like people concentraiting and thinking about them.
    6.) Bloggers aren't always speaking the truth.
    7.) There are always blogs about the same things at it's just to much.
    8.) Blogging is kind of boring and nobody is really using them.
    9.) Blogs are nothing new, nothing special, just an all-day-activity.
    10.) Most of the blogs aren't good in anyway, they're not as good as they could be.

  2. 1) Most blogs have been hard researched and you can seperate the bad ones and good ones easily when you have the look it needs.
    2) Blogs replacing journalism will mean there's no more need for news because everyone can catch it first on the internet.
    3) A Blogosphere is a community on the internet where everyone is a blogger who posts his entries.
    4) The first blogger is the one who's bringing the stone to roll, means he injects an idea and other bloggers take on the topic also.
    5) It means a blogger is very keen of himself and his work because of the large publicity he gets on the internet.
    6) Bloggers are people you don't know personally and when you have no real idea of the man behind the blog you have no proof of his trustness.
    7) Sometimes you're overload with information and when you have a list of hundreds of blogs on a topic it overwhelms you.
    8) Twitter and other short message services could probably replace the long blogs that are hard to read for short-minded readers.
    9) If blogs are trivial, why are they main weapons against dictatorships around the world, they are live-changing.
    10) Given that blogs are scripts on the internet, they can hardly stink.

  3. 1.) I think with "blogging isn't journalism" the myth will say that you haven't to show every little news about you or your family because I think that not everyone is interested in your private things. Also you mustn't repead any news which was shown or said on the radio or TV.

    2.)I don't think so because blogging isn't as detailed as news and news are more interesting because mostly a journalist is near at the place were the action is.

    3.) Maybe there is something like a "blogosphere" because there are already many blogs in the internet and there are many different blogs.

    4.)I think taht there is a first blogger because blogs can't get out of nothing. Someone has developed the blogs I think.

    5.)I don't think so. Maybe some bloggers are narcissists but not evryone is a narcissist. Blogs are a good think to tell the others about your hobby or something else but not evry blogger is a narcissist.

    6.) Yes and no. Some bloggers are good I think because they are the same people like you and me. Some bloggers could abuse blogs to show private things about other people or something bad else. Some bloggers you can trust, some bloggers you can't trust.

    7.)Maybe this myth is true because you don't need a blog for private thinks of anyone. Blogs about the hobby of an person or a sportteam or something around your country are good. There are too many blogs about private things.

    8.)This myth isn't true because we are using a blog right now. Blogging isn't dead and won't be it in 100 years.

    9.)No. It isn't trivial. It's not new but important to connect people.

    10.) Yes because most blogs are boring, useless and about private things. Nobody want's to know private things about strangers.

  4. 1.) "blogging isn't journalism" means, that a blog shouldn't engage on journalistic topics. Blogs are for entertainment, not a replacement for journalism.
    2.) "Blogs will replace journalism!" is a warning, that too many bloggers write about journalistic topics, and the people think, that these information from the blogs are more interesting than the information from the media.
    3.) A "blogosphere" means, that there are too many blogs and too many bloggers, so the readers can't see trough all the blogs and information.
    4.) A first blogger could be someone who had first the idea, to share information about his or her life in a virtual diary.
    5.) There are many narcissistic bloggers, because many write very long texts about themselves and they do this, because they need attention.
    6.) Many bloggers can't be trusted, because some bloggers don't tell the truth. In a virtual world like the world wide web, you can't be sure all the time, whether something you read is true or not, because there are too many information on the huge internet to conceive.
    7.) Many people think, that there are too many blogs, because on the internet exist so many blogs, which have the same topic, that you can't read all of them and you easily get confused.
    8.) "Blooging is dead" could mean that blogs are useless and in the time, you need for writing in your blogs, you could do useful things.
    9.) Blogging is trivial, because it's not important, to have a blog and to write in blogs is not something you need to do.
    10.) Most of the blogs on the internet aren't professionel, because the most bloggers are amateurs.

  5. 1.You can’t compare blogging with journalism, because journalism is very professional and only trained people can write an article. Blogging is more personal and everybody can write a blog.

    2.Blogs will replace journalism because when everybody writes a blog there will be much information in a big spectrum. And all the people around the world can make their own picture about the news.

    3.Blogosphere is another word for a community of blogs, their links and connections.

    4.The first blogger could be a person who has post something at first time and everything and everything is built on the first entry.

    5.Bloggers are narcissists, means that these bloggers are in love with themselves and they like reading the things they have written.

    6.Bloggers could lie and you can’t check if they say the truth.

    7.Bogging is in trend from the 21st century and everybody write a blog because of that there are too many blogs over the world. The news at the community of bloggers is mostly the same.

    8.There are more and more blogs and nothing around you can handle, so blogging slowly die out. There are also many other opportunities recently to interact with other people on certain topics.

    9.It means that you mustn’t have a blog because there are enough other people who have one. There are also many other opportunities to inform themselves about current things. Blogs aren’t special anymore.

    10.Most blogs aren’t very interesting and wasn’t made clear. Many people, especially young people want to have a blog without working hard. Therefore, most blogs are poorly written.

  7. 1. You can´t be a journalist for your own blog and post many news as you can. The most bloggers write their own opinions of a theme or write about theirselves. This isn´t journalism. TV and radio do that job for us.

    2. There will be more and more people, who will write about news they had watched on TV in a blog. In some time there will be more information about news in a blog than on TV.

    3. You can´t interact with a news-reader on TV, but with a blogger and other interested people. This relationship is the `blogsphere`.

    4. The first blogger....hmmmm.... seems like a `news-god`for all his fans. He gives great information in his blog and has has a big audience.

    5. What that f*** is `narcissists`?
    maybe they live in their own world and have no friends, because they sit at the PC all time ;).

    6. You can read and post everything in a blog, but nobody can demonstrate that, if you don´t write the truth about yourself. Maybe all the bloggers are liar.

    7. There are so many themes on the earth and to each of them there are at least 20 blogs. You will never have a review. It´s too much.

    8. This sentence says somebody, who never writes something in a blog and believes only in facts. He/ she doesn´t want to make contact with this type of news-production. Bloggers are going to be stupid.

    9. I think that means:
    You can post something in a blog.
    Ýou can quote an entry and
    you can interact with the others.

    This is a three- doing- thing in a bolg :D

    10. I see an old man who knowes a lot and he read some posts about world war and he notices some mistakes. He applies that to the other posts and blogs.

  8. 1.) The myth means that you don't have to repead all the news and informations wich were said in the radio about very much times before.
    2.) Blogs will not replace the journalism because not everyone have so much money to start PC before they go to work. The typical newsletter is the best method to inform somebody while having breakfast.
    3.) It means that very many blogs are connected to each other and so they make a "blogosphere". The blogs build togheter big communitys.
    4.) There is a first blogger could mean that there was a person who post the first blog in the world.
    5.) It means that people write about themselves. Few bloggers are narcissists but not all.
    6.) Bloggers are liar and don't speak the truth
    7.) This mean that there are many blogs about the same topic and a lot of blogs are unnecessary.
    8.) Blogging is dead could mean that nobody using it and don't need it. We don't think so.
    9.) This mean that we don't need blogging and it's insignificant. We dont think so again.
    10.) The most blogs are boring and uninteresting.

    1) "Blogging isn't journalism!"
    That says perhaps, that the information posted in blogs aren't always serious, it can also be stupid stuff without trust. Journalism is a thing carried by professionell journalists, photographers etc., blogging is "just" carried by "normal" people like workers, students and businessmen. Short, people like you and me.

    2) "Blogs will replace journalism!"
    This is a more than dubious claim. How described in 1), blogs and blogging isn't professionell, it's writing from yourself and publishing your own opinion. Journalism is a serious, working with good enquiry work. Because most people value good, verified information, Blogs won't replace journalism.

    3) "There is a blogosphere!"
    That wants to say, that there's a kind of big online community, who collect their informations together in one blog. If anyone post something, the others are able to read this entry, quote this post and link all the blogs together. That could be chance to connect all themes together in one big blog, which are similar and probably interesting for the readers. It's a possibility to build communitys of bloggers to motivate all the other users.

    4) "There is a first blogger"
    That could describe a person, who don't get to know what blogs are and didn't come in contact with blogs in the past. For he or she, it might be the first steps to explore the world of the internet and how to change informations on blogs. Usually, you go to your next newsagent and buy a newspaper with the latest news. On the blog, the person can see all the informations on one page for the first time.

    5) "Bloggers are narcissists"
    It means that every blogger, who post anything, think of himself that he might have done something important for the internet platform and is very proud what he had provided (bereitstellen) for the others. He present all his knowledge to the users of hoping that they gave him a good feedbag.

    6) "Bloggers can't be trusted"
    This sentence wants to say that you don't know, if it's correct or not what the others have posted on the blog. Everyone can put a message on the internet and that could be some shit or very interesting, realistic and true things. For the readers, it is often very difficult to serperate the false entrys from the real entrys.

    7) "There are too many blogs"
    Often, you lose the plot of all the blogs which were built in the last time. At present, a lot of humans post a lot of their private life and also things that are uninterested for the others. What would you think, if a mom post that their kid began to eat? That are things which you can tell your parents but not strangers in blogs who want to find out what's going on in the political world.

    8) "Blogging is dead"
    In the last 10 years, when the technology began to conquer the world, a lot of internet platforms like twitter, facebook or icq were built which opened a new perspective for the young people of getting to know the others faster than the old and slowly blogs. But this is very sad, because the sense of the blogs are to unite all the humans to collect their themes and built a big community of people who discuss about the events on the world

    9) "Blogging is trivial"
    Blogging is becoming more and more a trivial acitivity in the last time which is only used by persons who wants to read the new posts. That's because there were a lot of new platforms and chatrooms which competes with the blogs. They are becoming unspectecular for the young, technical incluenced generation.

    10) "Most blogs stink"
    It means that a lot of blogs aren't as interesting as they could be. That might be the colour or the visual effects. They aren't anymore impressvie as they were in the last years. The other platforms on the internet compete with them and became more and more illustrative. Not only the colour and design are important. The founders of the blogs has to get used to the idea of building a new, wild and alternative look on their pages.
