Time Magazine says that bloggers are the 2006 “People of the Year” and that pronouncement received a lot of griping from the established press. So, are we really making a difference? And does it matter? I don’t have more than a dozen hits a day when I post and so I would say I’m not into blogging for any kind of ego stroking. OK, maybe a little. Blogging is similar to having a conversation with a few friends over coffee and maybe a blueberry scone. Except I don’t have to tip the waitress.
But… (there is always a “but”) Time Magazine is correct in that, collectively, bloggers have made a big difference in how news is shaped, spread and perceived. If that weren’t true, we wouldn’t be hearing the gripes.
