Blog Vote — THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
So, who will emerge victorious?
Who will be crowned with fame and glory and bonus points?
We’re leaving together,
But still it’s farewell
And maybe we’ll come back,
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We’re leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?
It’s the final countdown…

The Perils of Social Networking, Part 3-Million-and-One
As everyone knows, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas… on hidden-camera surveillance footage to be unearthed and used for future (or present) blackmailing purposes. Duh.
And I’ve mentioned before that everything you put online stays online in one form or another. Forever. Right, Monica?
And I always make it a point to talk with my classes about how everything other people put online about you stays online forever. This isn’t news, and it isn’t rocket science. You’d think a smart up-and-comer would have figured that out by now.
So, pop quiz time: Who’s The Guy On The Left Honking Hillary’s Hooter?

Blog Vote #5 — Blood Sport
They say that man is the ultimate predator… and prey.
In today’s blog vote, we will see which blog has risen to the top of the blog food chain, and which… hasn’t.
As usual, vote and give a GOOD reason for your vote.
May the best blog win!

Blog Vote #4 — Grudge Match?!
It’s time for our fourth Blog Vote. Who will emerge victorious? Will last time’s winner retain the throne? Will the exiled former #1 return in glory?
Only you know. So vote. And, as always, give a good reason for your vote.
May the best blog win!

Blog Vote #3 — The Winners!
This blog vote was a major shakeup, with the class expressing some pretty clear dissatisfaction with the previously reigning champs, Royale with Cheese. This time around, each of the blogs got multiple votes, which is awesome.
The margin between the winner and the runner-up this time around was again one slim vote.
- Runner up: Indigo Squirt
- Winner: Grandma’s Blog
Congrats to Tess, Chas, and Slide!
Exit polls indicate, however, that the playing field is now wide open. Are the shakeups over? Have we found a new reigning champ, or will one of the other blogs take the title next time? Wait and see!

Blog Vote #2: Winners
By the smallest of margins, Royale with Cheese won the second Blog Vote and another heaping helping of extra credit. Yes, one vote separated the returning (and still undefeated) champions, 72ner, Erik, and Austin, from their strongest challengers yet, C@-Amounts.
Sadly, the voter turnout this time was less than stellar. Five classmates refused (or forgot) to vote this time, including one of the C@-amounters, who could have cast the deciding vote.
We’ll talk in class on Tuesday about how the blogging is going, what you like, and how the leading blogs are making their blogging magic happen.
Remember: there are four more votes this semester. And everyone likes to root for the underdog(s).
