Blogging, the nihilist impulse

There's  good information in this essay about the number of blogs in todays world. It's definitely something that is rising in popularity more and more. The idea that people can be connected to everyone and have an outlet to express their voice on certain topics is something many enjoy. There seems to be a blog about just about anything now on the internet. I think blogs work inside the media world, as most people make blogs about things they're interested in or see in the world today. They act as a "feedback channel" as Lovink stated it. They are able to either praise or criticize the things in society today.
