In the foreign policy article called, “Web of Influence” by Daniel Drenzer and Henry Farrell it talked about the importance between international blogs and media coverage. I feel that the important paragraph in the article was on page 84 the last paragraphs starting with blogs (are short for ‘weblogs,’) In the article they talked about how blogs are increasing enormously each year. Drenzer and Farrell stated that in 1999 there were about 50 blogs and in 2004 between 2.4 million and 4.1 million. In other words blogs are being used everywhere and more and more kids are using blogs to express themselves and say things they are unable to say to their friends, also adults are using them to gain more information on certain issues from other peoples experiences and feelings. It stated what the definition of a blog really was and I feel that was important because many people have a misconception of what a blog actually is and it helps them to see what they might be participating in. the definition they used is a periodically updated journal, providing online commentary with minimal or no external editing. My point is that blogs are a big part of our generation. I believe that blogs in which peers have their own experiences stated will help the most and have a great influence on the way we believe and act.
