Blog 8: Positives and Negatives throughout my Community

When first thinking of the G+ Food Bloggers Community many positives come to mind, such as being able to share your ideas, asking questions, getting involved in a community and finding useful tips and recipes from others. The G+ Food Bloggers Community is just that a community but only at first glance. As I look further into posts and comments made I am noticing that many of these people have created strong relationship with other's over the topic of food. There are many who ask food related questions and many who do not yet the outcome of multiple comments is unchanged. People in this community are not only willing but wanting to help others with blogs, ideas, and recipes. The only negative I can think of is at times it is a little to serious for my taste. The majority of people on G+ Food Bloggers is older adults so I can understand why it is semi serious but it can also be crippling to those younger who wish to investigate and research this community. Also, they say that people can not self promote with their own recipes but as I look through the blogs many people do this but just change the blog title into a question. For example instead of "My amazing chili recipe" they will put "How does this recipe sound?" or "Let me know if anyone tries this amazing chili recipe!". In my opinion that's the exact same thing but whatever floats their boat. All in all, they seem to more or less open to all ideas and the people who suggest them.
