The Best of Website
1. In our opinions, those particular blogs that Forbes
selected have some unique features. First of all,
precise information, latest news, and industry gossips
are offered there. Meanwhile, people can learn
something new from there. Secondly, the bloggers
provide related pictures, links, or even videos to
help readers get into the topics of the articles. For
example, a website showing the methods of carving
pumpkins links to an article about Halloween
creativities in another blog. Thirdly, the blogs offer
a place for people to share their ideas and to learn
from each other. Besides, people can leave comments on
blogs, give feedbacks or pop up different views there.

2. I reckon that two weaknesses are pointed out there.
The first one is that there are some prosaic resources
that people can obtain easily by a simple google
search. These prosaic resources reduce the importance
and uniqueness of those blogs. The second one is that
some websites may encourage people buying things.
Bloggers put some commercials there and make the blogs
commercialized.

3. If I am a business manager in the future, I will
encourage my employees to visit my blog. I would like
to share my opinions with others. For example, when it
comes to planning an important project, I will provide
a high bounty for those who contribute to my project
since I need a wide variety of ideas. I believe in
this way I could inspire my employees to use their
imagination and creativity, and then all of us can get
profits and benefits from this. Beside, I will update
the latest news everyday and add some related pictures
or links. By this way, people are willing to visit my
blog very often. I believe that the interaction
between the readers and I will give us more good
ideas.
