  1. I like how they said to re-read the other comments before you write you own just so you don't repeat what someone else has said. What stood out to me was how they said to make a connection with the blogger and to try and start a conversation with the blogger. I wondered how and where they get their information from?

  2. What I found interesting is what you could do in a blog comment like you could make it funny or inspirational.
    That you could add in anything else, but not personal info, so use good example so others understand you.
    How did you get the information for the video, like did you get it from another expert or not?
    What did you guys do to come up with this video?

  3. What I found surprising about the videos was how many things you have to remember on the Internet. I wasn't surprised that you should be good online because that is something sort of like using netiquette. But that is a old thing to do on the Internet.
    I want to ask you 2 questions.
    Did you know that you can help people on the Internet just by telling them to use netiquette and you guys sort of told people how to use netiquette ?
    Have you ever done anything wrong on the Internet or just about to then you remembered to use you manners ?

  4. What I found interseting about writing a blog comment is that there are more than one thing to make your blog comment right. Every thing you post and you delate it is still there. Is good to use your manners in what ever you write on the internet. Writing a blog comment is a lot of work for it to be right and that some people go on stuff there not supposed to do. Have you ever done something wrong on the internet?

  5. What I found interesting that some people put personal information on the web for anyone to see. What surprised me is that what you put on the web stays on the web and never goes away. That if you over use punctuation like exclamation marks people will think that your yelling at them and get offended . But if you under use punctuation it will not make sense. That there is more than one way to write a good blog comment. What inspired you to make these videos?
