The cyber environment is becoming more and more powerful each day. It is changing the way people can express their ideas and get their messages across. The uprise in South Korea against American Beef has become one of the few examples of the power of the internet.

Protesting is very important when it comes to fighting for something/to get an idea across. Now protesting can be taken to another level; the cyber level. A mass audience and a number of people can be assembled and gathered together in such a short amount of time. Information online spreads like rapid fire and with tools such as Twitter and Facebook, information is traveling even faster.

    In a way this was from Shirky’s book. You can always bring awareness and protest to fb, twitter, and other social media outlooks. A great example is the KONY campaign

    Currently it looks like Drupal is the preferred blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?

    Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips for rookie blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

    When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Cheers!

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

    Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Thanks

  16.   iphone6 specifications said:

    Hey, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, fantastic blog!

    My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a variety of websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be really appreciated!

    I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

    Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. Nevertheless think about if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this website could undeniably be one of the greatest in its niche. Excellent blog!

    Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
