Snowboarding Blog Critique

http://www.snowboardgo.com/
This blog is gives a list of topics realted to snowboarding. At first glance it seems more like an add than a blog. After reading and exploring the page briefly however it gives a great variaty of topics related to snowboarding and skiing. It appeal to both the veteran snowboarders and beginers as well. It displays a large variety of topics, allowing readers to find a wide variety of information. It also gives reviews of products,  and provides the link to allow users to move to the products official web page. One jepordizing element I found was that the blog had not been updated since December. Although it provides a multitude of information, it is not a go to place for up to date postings.

Obama's Recovery: Is it working?

These blogs give positives and negatives of President Barrack Obama's Economic Recovery Plan. Although it is not the most interesting thing to most college students, however it can be extremely important to understand. As the young adults that will soon be moving into the job world understanding both the economy and how it works in an extremely important concept to grasp. This Economic Recovery Plan is especially important because it may also effect college students. Tuition can rise or fall because of government funding and book prices could be subsidized. Although every person may view politics differnently having a broad understanding will still help students in the transition into the "real world".
