Current Phenomenon in Blogs and Effects on Community

There is no doubt that the phenomenon of blogging has changed the Internet while its effects are not as easily seen, as say the beginning of graphics on the World Wide Web, it does appear that blogging is reshaping the way we look at online publishing opportunities. The blogging phenomenon has great prospective through its influence to create social unity and to bring out support for members of a community. One example is the Damnthepacific.com blog, where is a collaboratively free-style blog created by a young man in Australia and a young woman in the United States. The couple uses the blog to tell the story of their current romance and ask their readers to contribute money so that the man can purchase an airline ticket to visit the woman in the United States. Remarkably, they have raised over $600 through voluntary offerings. While this example might be considered somewhat excessive, it does illustrate the power that blogging has to create social unity. All democratic governments are formed by the impractical desire to be guided by the united voice of its citizens and the convenient restrictions of consideration and debating the ideas posed by so many voices. It should be no revelation that as we start to ask questions about the role of the blogosphere in determining an ideal democratic liberty.
