Do blogs really make a difference?
Do blogs really make a difference? They make a difference to the person writing them. They give us all a voice and even if only one person is affected than we made a difference.
Blogs have had a major impact on giving everyday Americans a voice; a place to speak their mind and get things off their chest. Blogs allow you to tell your story, your point of view - uncensored. Blogs can also allow your readers to provide you with feedback - uncensored.
Politics has been greatly affected in this country by bloggers and as blogs become increasingly popular the blogosphere is continuing to grow.
I feel blogs have opened some people’s eyes to new ideas; but is that beneficial to us? Well I remember in some philosophy class somewhere in my past or maybe it was history that questioning is good and it gets us involved and invested in the decisions we make in our lives. However, one thing that is important that few people ever ask me are blogs or bloggers telling you the truth? Consider the creditability of the person who is writing the blog. If anyone can write a blog than you need to be a little more critical of what you read! It feels like a circle but it brings us back to questioning. Blogging for many of us has become a way to start researching ideas and forming opinions. Taking more time to review the standard media and ask if we are getting the whole story. Bloggers are people like you and me just searching for the truth.
Jean Rohe a graduate of the New School used her commencement address to make a difference to a few thousand people and the blogosphere has allowed her to reach beyond the walls of Madison Square Garden and out to the world.
I am still trying to find out if blogs make a difference in business for my readers, but today this blog gave me hope in the world around me, and pride that one young woman, agree with her or not, had the courage to share her voice with the world when the opportunity presented itself.
Tell me what you think…the floor or rather the blog is open to you for your opinions.

Blogs make a difference if you have the right Blog for the right topic. But you have to remember the Blogs are like people you meet at a party. Some are real and some are like folks you meet at a cocktail party. You don't know who is real and who can sell you the Brooklyn Bridge. For the most part, those that like what they do and love the buzz can blog to their hearts content. You never know when there will be something good or great coming from the blogosphere. Just keep your "eye" out.
