As the advert frequently goes, Bloggers have the ability to bend the truth.
I just read a blog on blogopreneur.com, which shows how a SEO enthusisast can tweak in his pages and show his blog at the top of the search result
on the most popular search site on the internet.
Netizens tend to google or even cuil, everything that they sense as new and happening,
be it news, sports, finance or any subject for that matter.And there is nothing stopping any one to jot down his perceptions on the subject and maligning the actual facts.
A blogger can scribble any biased views, taking sides.And researches have found that netizens believes in whatever they read from the internet, most of the times without even knowing the facts,
hence polarising the society we live in.
This is one of the most concerned cons of web2.0, authenticity of the information.
Is any on out there you can hold responsible for authenticity of the contents on Wikis?? but the tradeoff is that you get the information within the blink of an eye.
SO when things come for free, they are not guaranteed to be genuine.
The next time you see any blog with the craziest ideas in it, dont be baffled with that, there are always black sheeps in the communities.
