HW:13 "Blogs will change your business"

In my view, the impact of blogging on communication that is not business or profit related is a lot more important than the impact of blogging on business. Stephen Baker and Heather Green make a statement concerning blogging such as,"You cannot afford to close your eyes to them, because they are simply the most explosive outbreak in the information world since the internet itself." This statement is very true in regards to the fact that blogging is a very big aspect of communication around the world. Many people turn to blogging to bettter express themselves in ways thats are a lot more convenient and easy. It is true that blogging is very popular among businesses today, but on the other hand there is a lot more important things to talk about other than a business, and more people are likely to talk about how they are feeling rather than what is going on in a business. Not only are people focusing on blogging as a way of self expression but also the idea of social and political aspects come into play. Blogging is the new form of news around the world and lets you in on the newest media being released. People like to hear others ideas and feelings before they make their own decisions, which is why blogging has become so poplular. Business is just one aspect of blogging, so to think that the impact is larger would be misleading.
