HW 19: Web of Influence & Metacommentary
I chose to discuss the paragraph regarding blogs' influence on U.S. politics. This topic has come up quite a bit in this class. "The top five political blogs together attract over half a million visitors per day." This fact shows the impact of blogs and how underestimated they are. "Jimmy Orr, the White House Internet director, recently characterized the "blogosphere"." The blogosphere is the all-encompassing term to describe the universe of weblogs. The blogosphere is taking politics to new heights and stretching boundaries daily. It truly is a web of influence and I am looking forward to a better future because of it.

I'm not sure I follow all of this. How did Jimmy Orr characterize the blogosphere? What page does this paragraph appear on? Can you say more about what this paragraph says, how you interpret it, and why this passage of the text is important?
Finally, don't forget to give the name and author of the text so that readers who don't know the assignment will still know what you're talking about.
Are HW 21 and 22 in the works?
