Since my idea is related to gaming and connecting the gaming community, I decided to look at the professional blog joystiq.com. Joystiq.com provides the video gaming community with gaming news and commentary, the latest gaming videos, screenshots, reviews and previews. After looking through this blogs content I can tell that they are really on their game of knowing when new video games are going to be released. You can tell that they are professionals because of the type of content that they describe in their blog posts. For example, their latest post on the blog is that "Assassin's Creed's Ezio Auditore de Firenze will be a playable character in the Soul Calibur 5, due out in March of next year". They clearly seem to have the inside scoop on most of their stories. Also another thing to note is that there are multiple bloggers for this one website. There are 14 different editors for this blog so that means that there is a constant flow of content posted throughout the day.
On joystiq.com there are a number of different tabs to go under so you can read information that is relevant to you. For example, since the only gaming consoles I currently own are the PC and the PS3 I would only want to read content for either of these consoles. I can then click either the PC gaming or PS3 gaming tab and it will direct me to games, reviews, videos, and screenshots of video games for these systems. Also another thing I realized was that in each of these posts before describing the content the editors would first start their blog posts with either pictures, screenshots, or video gameplay of the video game. I guess what this is trying to do is to hook the readers eyes on the images of the video game before writing so it gets the reader interested in what they will be discussing. Inside their discussion the editors always use links to either the video games website, screenshots, or more videos.
