The Evil Power of Blogs
The cool thing about cheap publishing is that anybody can do it. And they can do it outside of the financial loop.
Blogger offers 100% free sofware, hosting, etc.
Our media and our society are set up where profit has to be included in the "business model" of news.
If you can create a community eventually you will profit from it. One way or another... if you do what you are interested in and work hard you will make a name for yourself.
Less than 2 years ago I was completely ignorant about ALL aspects of the web. Still got a ton to learn, but I have be referenced at places like Internet News & The Toronto Star. I also punted an interview for Salon.com...should have asked more about what they wanted before going into the interview.
Anyway this is becoming a tangent rant, but the point is free information that is made out of interest is usually going to be better than that made exclusively for profit. That is the point of The Real Threat of Blogs
Posted at September 8, 2004 3:14 AMAt least there is public information now. But its hard to find factual info with blogs everywhere. The local media and CNN and the like are all slanted so its up to great bloggers to get the facts right and post them when they can.
Cheers to blogs!
I understand a fury in your words,But not the words. martha Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast.
