Is blogging a positive or negative force in the world?
The answer of course is both, just like the old adage "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" it just depends on how the blogs are written, interpreted and used.
A couple ways blogging can be used to influence the world in a positive way are:
Politicians or anyone else can spread their message worldwide to bring awareness about any issue and change the world for the better (global warming, child abuse...etc )
For businesses and entrepreneurs alike it is a cheap way to sell and advertise your product, concept, idea globally.
The greatest number of negative effects can be found in the areas of politics, business, social (personal) life and religion, like the negative Islamic blogs. Which can help to spread rumors and propaganda which can have an endless amount of negative impact on a culture, religion, person or group of people.
