With the news full of problems being experienced by social networking sites are we seeing the beginning of the end for Blogs and Social networking. My Space have just closed 29,000 profiles of know child offenders and Facebook's owner is in court fighting to stop a rival closing him down.
Is this the start of the end? Have we taken the first steps down a slippery slope where we all see our freedoms regulated much more closely?
Social networking and blogging are founded firmly on the ability to speak our minds and post it up as quickly as we can think about it. We can all post content to our blogs and social networking accounts in seconds.
Being a blogger and IM marketer I am concerned that these types of events draw the attention of governments and regulatory authorities who just may use this type of news as a reason to meddle in our online affairs.
Don't we all have a social and moral responsibility to police ourselves and keep our chunks of internet above board? I see every day posts and comments from people who seem to not care or forget that this is a world wide medium; after all WWW stands for World Wide Web.
I am not sure where all this will end but are we about to see another dot com crash and the fall incomes from online businesses through our own greed and miss management of the power of the internet.
We all strive to harness the awesome communication power of the internet but forget that this can easily work against us. The smallest rumour can become gospel overnight if enough people post it online with dramatic results; not all ways good.
I am only one blogger but I can still make a difference. I can only hope that the major players out there set the example and promote socially acceptable blogging.
I might just be getting my knickers in a twist about nothing but at least we should take note that if event online are being picked up buy offline news then things may be out of our control. We must be able to show we can keep our house in order.
