Blogs have begun to transform modern media and they have now firmly placed themselves as players in the democratic process with the recent coverage of the plagues that beset the new voting machine malfunctions.
Bloggers took advantage of the video-sharing Web site, YouTube to add further credence to their accounts of ballot shortages, faulty voting machines and reports of voter intimidation. Some even posted digital recordings online of calls telling voters they were not allowed to vote.
Such blogs as the liberal TalkingPointsMemo and the conservative CaptainsQuarters kept the nation posted on the goings, comings and voting mishaps of a nation ready to make themselves heard.
What impact do these blogs actually have on U.S. politics? How about in other countries? That impact is growing and so too the blogsphere as a whole. Where do you want to get your news?
