Gov't prohibits military from blogging

Blogs have made such a difference in what we do every day. Take the site tripadvisor.com, which allows people to rate hotels based on their stay there. Clark loves to check this site before he stays anywhere because it’s such a good blogging resource. And no one blogs more these days than our military personnel. They talk about all kinds of issues and topics on blogs sites. But the military powers that be aren’t too happy with this new trend and are putting the ky-bosh on it. Soldiers cannot blog or send personal e-mail messages without having them reviewed by a superior officer. If they fail to go through that process, they can be taken to court. What Clark wants to explain is that people give up certain freedoms – including due process – when they enter the U.S. Military. We’ll keep you posted on what’s happens.

Technology is your friend

If you own a business or work for a big company and you treat customers poorly, you may soon be a victim of technology. From YouTube to all of the blogging sites out there, consumers now have a way to fight back through the World Wide Web. It’s like electronic picketing. Take, for instance, the man who vide taped the Comcast worker who fell asleep on his couch. That video went all over the world and Comcast took a huge hit because of it. So, just remember that you have power. You may not realize when dealing with these giant faceless companies and a government that doesn’t care.
