the power of blogging

Blogging is an interesting phenomenon.
At first I thought the net impact would be negligible: any facilitation of coordination would be offset by the opportunity it gave people to get a load off their chest and move on to other things, but then I realized that concept wasn't quite complete, because people who have expressed themselves have taken the opportunity to clearly formulate and take ownership of their positions, and this investment makes them that much more effective at implementing change when they hear the call for action.
Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it (at least for now).
