What's At Stake

(μήνυμα απο απο την Αμερική όπου τα blogs εχουν ήδη μια σχετική ωριμότητα και διείσδυση):

...Bloggers provided a diverse alternative voice to mainstream media, often taking the lead in breaking controversial stories and offering otherwise unheard points of view. New social networking applications such as Meet-Up and Friendster unleashed a torrent of “peer to peer” political marketing, which in turn led to more independent political activity, both on and off line.

...This is a seminal moment in the development of the Internet. There is little doubt that the robust political activity by ordinary citizens on the Internet and the money they raised from small donors in the election process helped to strengthen and safeguard democracy. Public policy should therefore be supportive of those activities and of the platform which made it possible--- the Internet.
