Blogging: How far it can take you?

I remember when I first stumbled upon blogs, few years back, I can't help thinking how powerful blog and blogger can be. Just take for example some of our local bloggers, some made it to the Parliament while some being hauled to the court. Well, they still get some sort of publicity.

But seriously, how far blogs can take you? Now everybody blogs just for the fun of it. Seeing your thoughts and opinion published. A power that many years ago can topple a government and in fact it still is. How powerful publication can be whether on or offline.

With power, come responsibility. Since everyone now can access to what you think and what your opinions are in regards of certain issue, its a first step to influence public opinion. And that probably will affect our decision making along the way. Especially with nature of blogs where you can respond right away, a two way communication here can help generate ideas, fueling argument or simply providing you free meals and lodging under the Internal Security Act.

I think it can really takes us to places, depending on how you harness the power of online publication.
