Blog: dcurtis
In his blog, Dustin Curtis gives his opinion on trending topics in the realm of technology, commercial products, other blogs, art, advertising, social media, life, and just about everything else. He is considered by most a technology commentator blogger, which is an interesting title because he has more liberty to give his personal opinion. He does not let this weigh down the progress and influence of his blog, because he also includes valuable statistics and quotations. Curtis's opinions however, do seem to always come around in the end to his view of life as a whole. When giving his opinions on the potential of the Google Glass, the final statement connects that technology to thoughts of the evolutionary progress of man and the nature of mankind. It is remarkable how Curtis makes these transitions, making deep impressions in each one of his blog posts because they are not excessively lengthy. They are all interesting, poignant, and easy to read.
In terms of how his blog is setup, it's interface is simple, aesthetically pleasing, and navigable. A bold font headlines the introductory summary of each post, and is followed up by appropriate photos and graphics. The subheading, (somewhat arrogantly) describes Dustin Curtis as "Villain. Creator of Svbtle" and gives links to contact him through other means. An "upvote", or a "like" on Dustin's blog is called a "kudos" and he somewhat tricks users into giving his posts kudos by making the button a sort of game (hard to explain, you will have to visit the page to experience it!) Overall, the dcurtis blog is highly influential and sustainable. I see it retaining the popularity in standings that it currently has, if not rising even further.
