The Blogosphere

With the world turning towards a more internet based society, blogs have emerged as a key way for people to have their ideas and opinions heard. Blogs allow people anywhere to connect with people anywhere. It allows them to learn from each other by using the blogs as a new information source.

So what is this power of the Blogosphere? Well, theoretically, it is supposed to make people equal online. Give everybody the same opportunity to be heard. Make everybody equal. But does that really happen? Well unfortunately no...websites line CNN and MSNBC will still have the power over bloggers and smaller people that are trying to voice opinions and share new and information. The Blogosphere isn't exactly what it should be. It SHOULD give everybody an equal voice but it doesn't. And is there any way to fix that? Who knows? It is a difficult subject matter because it's next to impossible to be able to actually regulate people on the internet and keep everybody to an equal share of information and opinions. Plus then it might lead to something getting missed or left out. It's a hot topic right now in the media world because so many people with blogs truly feel that they have something important to say but just aren't being heard...and it's a difficult thing to fix.
