surely this is the internet age from e-mails to blogging. however, is it really healthy for the coming generations to have an unconstrained "blogsphere"?. I believe that limit should be an aspect of every single thing we do in our life. this means that there should be a limit on the freedom of blogging to protect the users from abusers.
several questions came to my mind when reading" naked conversations".So will blog kill old media?. will the journalist be a "historical job" for the coming generations?. one should pay attention to the growing "blogsphere". sure it's a fantastic way for executives to connect truly and freely with their customers without a cost, but i don't think that it is a 100% honesty by all users. similar to media, where truth is sometimes lost. in spite of that, I believe that Media and bloggs are interrelated in a way that blogging can sometimes be used as a media tool. the key here is that blogging is threatening the weakest point of traditional journalism which is it's the lack of personal contact with it's audience.
the bottom line is that media and blogging should be combined to serve for the betterment of our society.

Thanks for the mention of Naked Conversations, a book I co-authored. I do not think blogging is designed to "kill" traditional journalism, particularly print. Traditional media's problems come from a slow, antiquated and expensive distribution system, which is no longer necessary. There are bloggers who are journalists. Likewise, there are people who write for newspapers who are not. The key difference is that blogging isabout dialog, while traditional media is about monolgue. Most people would prefer to e talked with, rather than to and in Naked Conversations, we argue that is a good thing.
