This is a really interesting article to gain the context of the period in which blogs were being introduced and it gives a societal perception of what power and usages they may actually give back to the previously unpublished members of the community.
in reference to:"We are being pummeled by a deluge of data and unless we create time and spaces in which to reflect, we will be left with only our reactions. I strongly believe in the power of weblogs to transform both writers and readers from "audience" to "public" and from "consumer" to "creator." Weblogs are no panacea for the crippling effects of a media-saturated culture, but I believe they are one antidote.
