En medio de una internet que está siendo comida por los intereses de control de los gobiernos y las corporaciones, los weblogs se muestran como ser los más poderosos espacios de libertad actualmente en la red. Esta es la interesante tesis de uno de los constructores de este extraño invento que es el internet: Jacques Vallée. Y afirma que los weblogs cambiarán el peso del poder de los grandes medios, y a su vez, eso cambiará la política.
"Weblogs are a new form of that and I think this is what the network’s real purpose. Weblogs are much more practical than websites and people can interact," he said. The French-born technologist believes that the weblogs will make a big impact in the way information is shared. "They will have a big impact on journalism and politics," he added. Vallee’s views are counter to many other so called experts who believe that weblogs are adding clutter to the Internet, breakdown Google and basically reducing the value of the institutional media.
He believes that weblogs play a major role in this campaign, because it is the only way to find out how a particular politician thinks and reacts on an issue. "A 10-second quote on CNN does not make sense and the folks want to react to the information they get. Politicians who are in tune with this are more realistic. Howard dean has used it effectively and I think politicians cannot hide behind press releases and press relations officers anymore," says Vallee."
En un internet asesiado por el spam, virus, gusanos y Bill Gates, es de agradecer que los blogs den un poco de aire fresco. Y es interesante ver como muchas empresas tratan de cooptar a los blogs, pero parece que el genio ha salido de la botella, y ojalá para no regresar a ella...
PD. Gracias a Jameslog por ligarnos.
