FOX411 is an entertainment blog, keeping up with today's trends and celebrity gossip. The authors use an informal tone to mirror the informal subject matter. Additionally, this blog uses many pictures to provide visual evidence to the reader. I think the pictures are also used because often when people are looking up celebrity gossip, they aren't really in the mood to read paragraph after paragraph. Usually the blog postings elaborate on a recent magazine article or announcement.
Gretawire is a news blog, keeping people posted on current events. The author, Greta Van Susteren, writes with a more formal tone to mirror the often heavier topics and worldly issues. This blog has many open threads for people to comment and piggy back off of one another. This feature makes for an interesting read, as I can see what other people think of various issues. I also like this blog because the entries are often accompanied by a brief video clip, cutting down on the reading time involved to stay posted.
