Blogging Article Response

1. The fact that someone could have so much faith in a new idea as a means of solving age old problems is kinda funny, because there have been dozens of technologies that would supposedly solve such problems, but the results were never definitive.

2. He says a blog is a collection of pages,(articles, pictures, or just journal entires), that are published by an individual and chronologically stored on a webpage where they can be accessed by anyone.

3.Blogs are different then regular webpages because they are easy to set up and use for even the least tech savvy person. People don't have to worry about how it looks and how it remains up, so they can focus on the content.

4. It is empowering because it makes all perspectives easily accessible to each other and prevents the suppression of information. People who want to know the truth now have the option to, instead of just watching the biased media.

5. Because it stops people from contradicting themselves and becoming the sleaze bags that you see in all the other sources of information. Even if they delete a post, google caches each page so it is still accessible if you know were to look.

6. Ever since blogging started, people have been giving each other props and linking to one another. This has created an enormous community of people who know each other fairly intimately through the blogosphere.
