HW 16-A: Blog Fulfills Scoble's Rules

After reading Scoble’s Corporate Weblog Manifesto and comparing it to a blog entry I read on a blog I am watching I was able to see where they were following Scoble’s principles at many different points. I read an entry off of Jezebel titled Standards of Booty: New Mom’s Hate Their Bodies, Heart Plastic Surgery. The blog entry was about a “Mommy Makeover” that is designed for women to have after a pregnancy. This surgery includes, breast lift either with or without implants, Tummy tuck and liposuction. It was easy to see that this blog supported many of Scoble’s principles starting in the first sentence. Scoble’s first principle is to Tell The Truth. As I read in the first sentence the blog was talking about how most women are insecure and not happy with their bodies after a pregnancy. This seems to be telling the truth about life’s situations. The next principle that I found satisfied was If Doc Searls says it or writes it, believe it. Throughout the blog the author mentions the opinions and statements from both Dr. Erin E. Tracy as well as statements from The New York Times. The blog also fulfilled the principles of never hide information and never lie. It is stated that women could risk chances of infections from this surgery and even death, sounds like the truth to me. It was hard to judge whether or not any more principles were demonstrated throughout the blog however, it satisfied plenty of them in general. There is no other set of standards that this blog should be following; it is clearly satisfying Scoble’s Corporate Weblog Manifesto just fine.
