Searching for legitimacy in the blogosphere

Blogosphere freedom of expression can not be controlled by party alliances. The blogosphere had little to do with the outcome of the election. The folks who fought against the smoking ban, the split in the Republican party and the folks who fought against Harrison Square had the biggest impact on the election.

The blogosphere offered a venue for folks with difference views to sound off. The blogosphere challenged the limited information and the lack of transparency from local officials.



P.S. Yes I am upset that I was not selected for the new media new rules..just kidding.

"Jeff Pruitt made a point that struck me as having something of the essence of ‘the blogosphere’, when he was talking about the evolution of Kelty’s cake picture from a Flickr picture to a post on his website, to front-page news in the Journal Gazette."

The cake picture..did not come from mainstream media and mainstream media nor the blogosphere gave credit to the owner of the picture because it did not come from members of their groupie..so much for new media new rules..

To get the identity of local bloggers two network have been formed:

U-Blog Press

Fort Wayne Blogger Network

However, MY very own pageflakes does not ask for your identity because you have a right to blog whatever..but I don't belong to mainstream media or mainstream political parties, so you will not see me on most of these blogs in the blogosphere.
