“…Bloggers can work on their own blog contents to communicate with other Internet users, which may be in the form of personal diaries, interesting themes, really simple syndication (RSS) delivery, photographs, and so on (Cohen & Krishnamurthy, 2006;Johnson, 2008;Kent, 2008;Quible, 2005a;Sprague, 2007). When users read blogs, they are interested primarily in creative, personal expression or experiences, sharing practical knowledge, and just keeping in touch with friends or families.…”

In this paper the value of including experiential value in expectation-confirmation theory (ECT) when studying continued use of a weblog (blog) site is investigated. Original models examined cognitive beliefs and effects that influence a person's intention to continue to use an information system. In this study the ECT model was extended to include the relationship between experiential value and satisfaction and the results indicated that experiential value, satisfaction, and perceived usefulness all contributed significantly to the bloggers' intent to reuse a blog site. Thus, we believe that the extended ECT model is an appropriate tool for the study of blog continuance effects.

Emergence and integration of Web 2.0 technologies in the students' learning process brought a pedagogical paradigm shift in many of today's classrooms. Unfortunately, many educators (including the teachers of Teaching English as a Second Language [TESL]) are either unaware or skeptical about this new culture. Students taking English as a Second Language (ESL) are still having a problem in writing an error-free assignment or test. Fortunately, blog (a computer-mediated technology) brought a hope and serves as a help to both tutors and learners by being a teaching and learning tool that can promote the students' English language writing skills. Using systematic review, this paper aims to examine the students' perceptions of blog in some selected ESL writing classes. The purpose is to introduce blog and create awareness to both educators and students about its application and benefits in today's educational institutions, especially ESL writing classes. One research question was developed and two academic social network platforms were explored and about 41 relevant journal articles were found. After using inclusion and exclusion criteria, only five articles met the criteria of this review. Findings revealed that though blog was still new to many respondents but their perceptions of it (blog), was positive.
