Starting to think about the web, blogging, and culture
How has the Internet shaped our experience (i.e. yours personally, but others broadly in America and around the world) of the events of Hurricane Katrina? Do some searching and find some blogs that have addressed the issue (HINT: you might starting by googling hurricane and blog). How would you characterize the information you can find on blogs in comparison to that on major news websites or on television?
Then give some thought to other ongoing events affecting us (e.g. the war in Iraq, terrorism, but also lighter fare like sports and entertainment): how does the web shape our experience of these broad cultural concerns/interests?
