Social Media is still new concept, but a concept that still must be mastered at this stage.Social networking is the future of journalism. Social networking allows everyone to have a voice, not just the people with the biggest wallets. Social networking is big business,reaching millions upon million so latching oneself to the social networking movement is a sound business plan,at least till the next big thing comes along. Just ask Myspace, who failed to attach itself with Facebook and got left behind.
Blogging who knew a blog could be turning into a great source of income. Especially a blog that is the complete opposite of most of the blogs out today. I enjoyed reading this story it includes the hope of the "American Dream".
Just plain good writing
This is a well written piece it makes you use your minds eye to scan throughout history. I think the story has one major theme, which is perseverance. The story reminds us no matter what is going on around you we must keep going to carve out our own space in this world.
Blogging can be dangerous to your health
Of course blogging can be bad for your health. I believe you have to ask yourself three questions before you post something on the web for all to see. The first is are you ready to take responsibility for what you post. And what may other people opinions be about what you have posted.And the final questions is can you deal with the good and bad consequences of you post.
Newspaper woes
As humans we can sometimes lose our way. I think this is what has happen to the L.A. Times judging from this article. They to me have lost a grip on their local market. Most people like to know whats going on in their backyard before peeking in to the neighbor's. Otherwise your are just a paper who has the title of Los Angeles Times, but you really do not represent the city Los Angeles.
Your concluding sentence is a powerful sermon to newspapers. Thanks.
