Kos nicely sums up how the blogosphere corrects itself when blogs go wrong. Basically, if the audience doesn't like what it reads, they will strongly object to the blogger to try to get her to change her ways, or they will stop reading the blog and the blog will either die or continue but become irrelevant. Kos also gives an explanation as to why traditional media is attacking blogs. It's the same reason why the music and movie industries are attacking file sharing programs - they're scared of this new, innovative, blow-them-out-of-the-water competition. Since traditional mammoth corporations are way too big to quickly come up with the next big thing, they throw their money at legal and marketing solutions to attack and discredit their competition. |
