I am simply in awe of how our postmodern society shares and receives information. We can even create knowledge and share it when and how we want with the world. How good is real-time freedom of expression? That is, unless of course profits would be damaged (cf. Google in China)or with human rights violations (cf. Yahoo's identifying dissidents in China).
Here is Robert Scoble who blogs about his positive experiences with buying a Saturn. Savvy salesperson to invite him to test drive the car after he blogged about his colleague's reaction with one. In sharing this experience, many people around the world now have a good stamp pf approval by a respected man o'media. Of course, if there are problems with said car, guess who will also tell about them?
I wonder how much power the well-trafficed bloggers wield? I wonder if it can be quantified or qualified? That smells of a nifty research project . . .
