Imagining The Blogosphere Reflection
There are around two millions of blog posts are written every day. I couldn’t find the exact number of bloggers there are, but one thing I’m sure of is they are very important in the blogosphere since they are the producers of all the posts.
One example that proves this point is that “ such as the 9-11 terrorist attacks and the comments made by Senator Trent Lott at Strom Thurmond’s 100th birthday celebration, bloggers have covered stories in ways that the mainstream media could not or would not. During the terrorist attacks, blogs were able to provide first-hand, unedited accounts of ordinary people in New York and Washington that otherwise may have been lost” Lampa (2) Imagining the blogosphere. This proves that how quick the information was floating around in a very small amount of time, but also I like how these posts were from original people who writing down their own emotions, and these emotions really make the bloggers special. This website also has the same opinion as I do “While phone networks and big news sites struggled to cope with heavy traffic, many survivors and spectators turned to online journals to share feelings, get information or detail their whereabouts. It was raw, emotional and new – and many commentators now remember it as a key moment in the birth of the blog” 9/11: birth of blog. I think that these raw emotions are sometimes even more attractive than professional posts.
Whatever we write doesn’t really matter, what matter is we write with our hearts and our feelings.
