Are Blogs a Helpful Tool?

Blogging about blogs; this should be interesting.

My question is, are blogs a helpful tool? In my PR1 class we had to create this very blog to answer the questions from the chapters compared to writing them on a sheet of paper and turning them in.  This way people could comment on them and give their own feedback to what was posted.  Most people in the class thought blogging was silly.  I remember my professor saying, “I don’t think you realize how important blogging is in the PR world.”  Is it?  I updated the blog for Adrian College last semester (link is on the side bar) and I’m pretty sure no one ever read it.

Due to that, last night in PR2 we had high school students attend that gave us a list of things they would want to read on a college blog to give them information about the school.  Knowing what your audience wants to hear is going to help increase how many people read your blog and respond to it.  I know people have been reading my blog, but haven’t received any comments on this blog since the assignment ended.

So here’s my question to you…what would you want to read about?
