*sung* It's blog, it's blog. it's big, it's heavy, it's wood.

In Blood's article about blogging she speaks of rules that she proposes all bloggers should follow, and even though these are, in general, good rules to go by when writing blogs, I don't think that these should be followed. Even though I don't blog, except for this class, I must say of the blogs i have read recently nobody really wants their blogs to be that professional. Now maybe I am reading the wrong blogs, if there are wrong blogs, but people seem not to care to much about accuracy as long as there ideas get across. Since this is for a class I tend to follow these rules she gives just so I keep myself in check. I wouldn't want to give false facts or incorrect statements in something like this or why would I even bother.
Net neutrality is a word that I had never heard of until last year, and even though I know what I want to happen, there is little to no chance I will ever do anything about it. I believe net neutrality to be a good thing, but when I was reading I couldn't help but think about the communications industry and their attempts to get people to switch networks because theirs is more clear. What I may be failing to see is how this is any different from the situation with the internet. In my mind all phone lines appear to be the same, it's just different companies saying that theirs is more clear than others. I remember an MCI add with pins dropping and the idea being shoved in your face that you could actually hear a pin drop over their phone lines, well aren't all the phone lines the same? Clearly they were up to something... and I think it was Candace Burgeons fault.
