Desperate Housewives make use of blogs


This NY Times article, "When the Ex Blogs, The Dirtiest Laundry Is Aired" brings to light the emerging trend of blogging and America's wonderful twist. According to the article, 1 in 10 internet users maintains a blog these days! That's a lot of discussion out there! And women are using their blogs to exploit their cheating husbands, expose dirty secrets to the public and ruin the reputation of loved ones. Kids, teens and students now deal with cyber-bullying regularly. I know that my own text messages can sometimes set my mind spinning or my mood kicking. Seemingly nothing in my physical environment has changed, only a hasty communication from the airwaves changes everything. Powerful but so fleeting. Oh the power of the internet! In its power and its disgrace lies its beauty and freedom.
