The author name the blog after herself, Rosabeth Moss Kanter. “Rosabeth Moss Kanter is a professor at Harvard Business School and the author of Confidence and SuperCorp” (Kanter, 2010). In one of the documents in this blog is called “Getting Americans back to work”. She gives her own opinions about the US’s economy and gives suggestions to those who have lost their jobs. Her idea is very well developed and is connected with the topic. The blog is a about a school professor's blog, so it may give an impression of a professional professor in school.
It isn't a very professional blog, because she did not cite her sources of information. However, the page layout looks comfortable; she puts on some advertisement of related products which may give readers a better idea of business. She has information about herself and also inputted her Facebook and Twitter. In general, it is more like an advertisement of the school, because there is a lot of information on the blog that they could sell.
The content seems to be original, because there is a lot of her own opinions about today’s economy. The language used in this blog is proper, and the grammar is good too. It is very easy to read and to understand the author’s ideas. However, she did not use a lot of reliable resources to prove her ideas, and the suggestions she gave is not well developed.
She does not update very often; she only updates a new document once every week or two. The number of comments is varies from each other documents. There are many comments in her documents, but she barely replies to any of them.
The author of the blog knows a lot of things about business, but she doesn't provide much evidence to prove her statement. There are some information with links to Wikipedia and other internet sources, but it is difficult to find evidence by the readers themselves. However, it is more reliable than a lot of other blogs, because it is written by a school professor.

I also agree that she does not reply to many of her comments of her posts. She seems to be very busy or just don't like replying those comments on her posts. One thing is bothering me is that even though her design on her page is not appealing she still attracts many people to her blog and still comment them. It is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteYes, it seems weird that some many people interest in her blog. I guess that because she is a professor. Students want to learn more and know more.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. By wanting to learn more, the students or other professors will visit her blog because of her experience in her profession.
