Chalk one up for the little guys

Leave it to the mobility of bloggers to move faster than the vast media organizations covering the war in Iraq. If you want a digest of the latest news delivered in succinct fashion, check out The Command Post, a blog site that is aggregating the latest news faster than any major news outlet Web site. One side effect of the war in Iraq will be that blogging is quickly establishing itself as a viable way to share news and information. That's not to say that blogging isn't without faults, as it can virally transmit lies, innuendo and opinion. But don't shoot the messenger: blogging can be as good or bad as we humans choose to make it. As a currency for sharing information however, it shows a unique potential.
