New Media Article Response

This week I am going to respond to the blog post called "Copy and Paste: Enemy of the Web?" It was written on the 10,000 Words site and it a quick and short one to read. For how short it is, it is a very good blog and it is to the point, which is a good thing to do in a blog. The readers do not have that much time on their hands.
This blog blends right into what Pam talks about and New Media in general. The writer mentions Twitter as one of the great social networks to get answers right away. The writer states: "[The] [tweeps] immediate help speaks to the power of crowdsourcing and social networks like Twitter."
In addition, the writer talks about a huge problem in schools everywhere and supposedly now on different blogs: copy and pasting work that is not theirs! The writer does a really good job on telling us what we should do if somebody rips your work off of you. Pam also said to keep our blogs between four and six paragraphs and that is what this writer did.
So props to the person who wrote this blog. He/she told us about their story and the person who accused the act of copy and pasting knows who they are, which makes it that much better. The writer kept it short, to the point and knew what point he was trying to do with it. Props my writer. Props.
