Twitter

I've recently created a Twitter account. Considering my interests in music reviews and news, I have been following some accounts to help keep me in the loop as far what is going on within the music world. Here is a list of the groups that I am following:

VH1

MTV

Billboarddotcom

Rolling Stone

Ultimate Guitar

EW

Weezer

Rivers Cuomo

iTunesMusic

Pitch Fork Media

In particular, I chose to follow most of these sites because I got to their web pages almost daily to get news. I figured I Twitter would provide me with a more condensed, clear message.

Blogs: A couple of good ones.

The first thing that I have learned about this whole blogging world, is that it is like a buffet: there's something out there for everyone. From cat hotels, to schools for the blind, everyone is blogging about everything.              

However, I am a  runner, and spent some time scouring the Web for some advice and tips on training as well as racing stories.

The blog that I found was a personal one, that is actual on this website. The sells itself something "to give the readers information on a variety of topics associated with racing, health and fitness, apparel, products, training tips, funny videos and any other relevant topics."

Endurance Race Finder is a blog that is actually part of a separate website that serves a tool for those in search of an endurance race in their area. They use the blog to post articles and videos related to all sorts of racing.

Secondly, I searched for a more professional blog. Flotrack is a Website designed for runners and Track & Field participants/fans to keep up on what the professional athletes have been up to. It is a great site that also has useful resources for mapping training and races. 

The blog on this site features roughly 30 professional runners who all discuss different topics. The blog I chose, is by James Carney. Carney seemed to have one of the most up-to-date posts. I enjoyed scanning through his posts. However, I wish he would have put up more videos/links.
