Desperately searching for an interesting person on vox.com, I came across Rob. We are both interested in tennis and the similar movies. Here is the link to his blog:
http://moghandavid.vox.com/
The purpose of Rob's blog is to provide users with facts about recent movies, novels, and events and followed by honest and realistic opinions. He only lists his entries about the things that he enjoys at the given time. Many of his interests and opinions about those interests are similar to mine. In all of the entires of his that I have spent time reading, I have not found one that I would disagree with. People besides myself can use Rob's blog as a guide discover what they do and don't like.
I am pleased with the format of Rob's entries. He makes it very clear for readers (grammatically and comprehensively) and does not use profanity. He also provides a picture of his topic in each of his entries. Rob writes his entries as if they were meant for other people to use as a source of some sort. Besides giving readers facts, he shares his personal opinions similar to a critic. Instead of reading the newspaper or watching Entertainment Tonight, Rob serves as a good source for people who need something to expect from seeing a movie.
We know what people can use Rob's blog for.....but what does he use it for? I think that Rob uses vox as an outlet to help others. If he likes providing information for people as well as sharing his opinions, he would want to do it on a large scale. The easiest way for him to do this would be blogging. In his first and third posts ever created on his blog, he explains why he chose to create a vox blog account. He previously used a myspace, but seeked a better way of blogging and less social networking. He also chose to use vox so that he can upload his own photos, as he has stated that he does not like linking from other people's pages. With vox, he does not have to use a third-party site, he can upload his photos via his flicker account.
In conclusion, Rob's blog serves as a useful way for anyone to find something to be interested in. For example, if someone who may not have known about women's beach volleyball and when it was being broadcasted, Rob's blog would provide that information. He helps other people know what to expect from different movies, music, books, and events. He also keeps his information very easy to understand. People who want information about some form of entertainment should stay updated with Rob's blog.

Isn't it fascinating how easy the internet, blogging in particular, makes finding people like this? I mean, usually it's kind of hard to find another person who shares a lot of similar interests, but blogs and tagging and online comunities really help bring all theses similar people into one place.
