Blogging, or web logging, is a popular way for people to post their thoughts and pictures online. Most blogs are personal, written for a small group of friends, but some are geared toward a larger audience. For example, there are a number of online communities that focus on dieting: from debates about the mainstream South Beach Diet to fringe discussions about anorexia.

Review of Anorexia BlogsI generally think of myself as someone who is very aware of eating
The vox in this piece was amazing--the interview with the eating
This piece is an amazing and depressing look at the pro-ana movement, but I'd like hearing more--maybe you could do a second part? Also, listing some local resources for anorexics could be good in case you have any listeners in need of help. Either way, this is an issue that needs to be talked about a lot more, so thanks to Christopher Krumm for bringing it up! |

Review of Anorexia BlogsThis is a remarkably powerful piece that sheds light on a new angle of an issue that society has dealt with for years. The Internet (and blogs) has so much power to do good, but in this case the Internet helping people with anorexia compete with each other to become thinner. Technology has the potential to both improve and harm. |

Review of Anorexia Blogs
This piece scares me a lot. It bothers me that people have this type of problem. I wanted to note on your tone, it made me listen more intently because you were serious. It would have been nice if you allowed more sound such as the keyboard or you yourself trying out the page. But I think you did a good job of informing the listener about something they dont know.
