Blogging has been something that had humble beginning to now being a dominant spot for a lot of people to get information. Added, everything must be taken to with a grain of salt today but even watching main stream media one must dig a little deeper to find the whole truth. This is why I like blogging and a lot of other people do as well. It is almost like a check and balances system. If both bloggers and main stream media agree on something it is safe bet that it is for the better good. Blogging all started when in January of 1994 a student from Swathorne College named Justin Hall created the first blog ever (Thompson, 2006. P.1). From those humble beginnings to in, “February 2006 when the Huffington post surges to become the fourth most-linked-to blog” (Thompson, 2006. P.1). Certain bloggers gather a following but anyone can put a blog about whatever they decide to talk about. This what makes this forum so much fun. Many people with many different opinions; it is up to the reader to take what they are reading as fact or fiction. This is allows people other mediums other than main stream media. Cause let’s face it, if the only place you get your news from is the major networks you will probably have skewed view of what is really going on in the world. Bloggers bring a different perspective to many issues for good and bad; it is up to the reader to critically think for themselves.
