Blog conversation is your coffee shop talk on steroids. The anonymity of blogs allow people to make comments with impunity; that has it’s good and bad side. Blogs should require people to identify themselves, when dealing in a community context. In this coming fall election most people running will likely be using blogs to garner votes. CAO’s are likely to be nervous about politician’s blogging but cannot stop it from happening. It can be quite destructive if distinction between corporate and personal viewpoints is not clarified.
There are 1000s and 1000s of people are coming on every day to the web/ internet/blog connections. There are many issues this brings up; one is how much can you absorb every day. A Psychologist named Dunbar developed from his studies a theory called; “Dunbar’s number”. Dunbar's number states the number of people one knows and keeps social contact with and also likely depends on memory size. Primates only have a limited ability to make 150 genuine connections. Humans are really a subset of the primates in some way, and in that how many people we can effectively relate to within a day to day relationship is 15.
