The blog that i analyzed is called "The Great Geek Manual" it is a blog about nerdy humor and giving random achievements made by geeks in the past on the current day. For example did you know that on February 18th, 1930 Clyde Tombaugh discovered the once planet pluto, becoming the only American astronomer to find a planet inside the solar system. The author is a 20 something white male living in Michigan. He is the definition of the geeky stereotype and I share a lot of the same interests as him. He made the blog to share all the cutting edge science news and telling some geeky history facts with humour.
The intended audience for this blog would be an average nerdy male or female in between the ages of 16-30. Although anyone would enjoy many parts of the blog many would not get the humor. Readers visit this blog to be informed although there is not a lot of interaction between the readers other than a few comments. I am definitely part of the intended audience and I am starting to visit this blog weekly. The blog is organized like a news site with a combination of formal and jargon language. The writer uses evidence in everything he puts up, rarely offering his opinions. The use of facts makes all his content believable.
The blogs message is to show everyone how much geeky people in history changed the world and how without any geeky people in history are society would be completely backwards. This shows us that it really isn't that bad to be a geeky kid and you should aspire to change the world for the better with your intelligence.
