Blogging Truths

Here is the link to my website about a blog gone wrong. Enjoy! http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/22/technology/22blog.html?ref=technology.

This article leads you on to be a big story about a CEO who lied on his blog, but as you read through the very short article it is evident that this CEO lead a small company that had less than 150 employees. The impact of this story is lacking. Blogging has become the "new thing" to do, but just like anything else that is posted on the internet there is a grey area about validity. That is simply the nature of blogging. Take the story about the woman who created a fictional blog about a girl dying of cancer. Everyone believed her only to find out that she was non-existant. I think that if they really wanted to drive home the impact of an executive lying on a blog they should have used a better example that effected more people.
