It is truly interesting and quite fascinating in the previous discussion of our class about bloggin whether it is really an effective or ineffective "Advertisement" tool for many businesses. While, some might argue it is and some might argue that it is not, after reading "blogs will change your business" will give you a better insight.
The point of this article is to encourage blogging, but we need to keep in mind that we have to be careful as what we post on the web as all this info is available to the public.
One of the interesting point that crossed my mind is how much of "Freedom of expression" do we really have, especially if we have provided certain information unintentionally and the next day, we realized we had lost our job (like Mark Jen did)
Is this really valid? In the end, it was not like that he provided information from a financial standpoint and I am sure that everybody was excited to hear about GOOGLE and joined in the conversation.

You know, when I was reading your post, it made me think about just how much information I have up on the internet. While I know that people will not be able to google my facebook, they can find information about me easily. At the same time, while I know that this is dangerous, even to just have my opinion about things available to all, I am not going to do anything about it.
It is very dengorus to write in the internet. I heard about some people lost their jobs or even got arrested because something they wrote
I think that citizens who live in a democracy think that they have much more freedom than they truly do. In a dictatorship or a tyranny, it's easy to see that there is little/to no choice because coercion tactics are used against all those who disagree. In democracies, citizens think that they are free thinkers and have all types of freedom in decision making, but the government controls them by controlling their thoughts.
See, Noam Chomsky's, Manufacturing Consent or Orwell's, 1984
