Comments on: Revolution of Me: Chapter 1: Media 2.0 http://chrissaad.wordpress.com/2008/07/23/revolution-of-me-chapter-1-media-20/ Personal Blog - Chris Saad Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:19:18 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: stevendraper http://chrissaad.wordpress.com/2008/07/23/revolution-of-me-chapter-1-media-20/#comment-717 stevendraper Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:23:25 +0000 http://chrissaad.wordpress.com/?p=108#comment-717 I think the question may be, how much are we influenced by what we read and who influences most. Why does it seem so many believe the non regulated gossip blog who is searching for fame with their "missing link" scoop while regulated media now seen as sensationalist, about a good show between the commercials.... It may be that we love blogs because they give power, they give power to share and power to find out something that not everyone else has, give you another angle on something. There are other reasons too, but I guess I should write my own post rather than drown on here! I think the question may be, how much are we influenced by what we read and who influences most.

There are TONS of people that read a blog, but DON'T comment = audience. There are people who walk into a store, but don't purchase = audience. There are people who lurk in a discussion group = audience. The audience watches/listens/reads, but doesn't do anything else. Yes, that's a passive form on participation... but it's definitely not active! So yes - your idea is right - there ARE people that are participants. But the audience hasn't left the building yet, either. We just have both now. Not sure I’d agree. There are TONS of people that read a blog, but DON’T comment = audience.
