In today's class we talked about several types of cultures, one of which is a sharing culture. Since Blogger and Blogspot began, a multitude of blogs help people stay in contact with their friends. This can be a mixed blessing, though. The danger includes the possibility of an “echo chamber” where people go to read only articles they agree with and anyone who gives a dissenting opinion may get shouted down with cries of “IDIOT! IDIOT! IDIOT!” One way this can be solved is to have great moderators who make sure all comments keep the conversation moving instead of stopping it. What do you think?
