How blogs have affected and been affected by the "real world"

What is different between what the networks say and what the blogs say. I've heard similar comparisons over at Michele's and Jeneane's before, but it's still a good thing to hear, a good thing to think about.

Update: I'm really enjoying this guy. I could listen to this kind of stuff all day. All about blogs and why they are important. OK everybody, the next conference we need is a blogging conference. Who wants to work on setting that up?

Lots of outlets, wifi, and bloggers everywhere. All talking, with their hands and their voices. I'd be there in a second.

Update number 2:

He's talking about Command Post now. Amazing things happening out there.

How bloggers protect each other. How we check each other's facts, how we deal with hoaxes. "KayCee Nicole" was the example he used. Can anyone say Zander? We have to choose who to trust, figure out who is worth listening to. If this person says jump do we ignore them? do we ask how high? do we do something in the middle? Does it depend on who says it?

Update 3:

The DMCA, Hollywood, Micro$oft, and how it will affect us. I like this guy a lot! He's talking about all the important things in our world. Yes, it's a real world. It's not something tangible, but it is most definately real. And it's ours and we need to protect it.
