Baristanet: “How does this site promote community and what is that community like?”
Baristanet This site is created for both journalists and simple people. The journalists who created the site and edit the site make it interesting for readers. As readers are interested in some news, or events they can go to forum and discuss the news there. Which makes the site the real community.
There are no special rules for participation in this community, because readers are the community.
I have found out that there are co-owners of this site Debbie Galant and Liz George, also they are editors. There is a daily editor, whose name is Annette Batson.
Baristanet provides the information to the readers, and readers at the same time create conversation, and different types of ideas on the particular topic.
All in all this site is a great example of journalism site and site for blogging and discussions.

Akina’s Community
I went to Akina’s blog to find out about the community she attended. I found out that she used to write for KIMEP Times. She was excited by the fact of interviewing interesting people. As she says she is very glad that she did the thing she likes, and there are always people who are able to help her with anything.
That is a good example of the community.
Community
There are so many communities all over the world. Each community have some values, beleives, and interests.
I am a part of many communities for instance KIMEP. Also the I am a part of community for night people, who live at night. We all met on the forum night.kz. Where we discuss different parties, comming up events, and events that past. All of us know each othere and we meet in the night clubs, or some where else.
I am happy to be a part of that community.
