Technorati Search

           I used technorati to find a blog about marijuana and addiction, and it can be found at http://addiction-dirkh.blogspot.com/2010/12/cannabis-and-severe-vomiting.html.  This blog was created by someone named Dirk Hanson in December or 2006.  This means the blog has only been active for close to 4 years.  It seems as though Dirk Hanson creates blog posts about once a month, but there is no specific pattern.   Dirk is a journalist, and he seems to utilize many links in his blog posts.  Most of his links are either links to other blogs posts or to journals, which makes sense if he is a journalist. 

            My second search using technorati was to find a specific blog post about marijuana.  I found one called “Pot can Make you Puke,” which can be found at http://addiction-dirkh.blogspot.com/2010/12/cannabis-and-severe-vomiting.html.  The author of this blog post is the same as the last one.  His name is Dirk Hanson, and he is a journalist.  This blog post came from Dirk Hanson’s blog entitled “ Addiction Inbox.”  This blog post was written on December 6, 2010, and 8:36 in the morning.  The tone in Dirk’s blog post is completely different from that of my persuasive paper.  This post is purely informative and states many facts that are both good and bad about marijuana.  My paper, on the other hand, is persuasive and tries to get all readers to take one side on the subject.  This blog has very good information and seems to be a great source.
