The BuzzMachine continues on with interesting thoughts and facts in the media.
Jeff Jarvis throws his ideas of the government and them using the internet more and more to post and get information.
He says the government and other government agencies abroad should post blogs on a regular basis. Even Barack Obama says if he is elected president he will put governtment data online in easy to read formats.
Overall this is a big deal I think and I believe this is a risky move however. I think it will have a good and positive outcome.
But do you think it will be a good idea to pursue? Maybe it is infact a little to risky to have government material and information on the web and easy accessible. We will just have to wait and see what the future of the web holds for us.

Obama explains...or does he?
From the Buzz Machine, Jeff Jarvis reports on Presendential Candidate Barack Obama's last speech he gave on certain touchy topics. topics such as gays, and race, and unity!
One thing Jarvis noticed and I agree with was that Obama sort of steered away from the strong points made, and the questions directed to him on some of those ancy topics.
These speeches and answered questions could possibly have and a very harsh impact in the upcoming elections. I'm sure Clinton will take advantage of this.
I ask myself one thing...do we want leader who is afraid to talk about or answer some of the racy topics, ones that make us feel uncomfortable? A leader, a president, should be exactly the opposit and not afraid to go out of bounds!

Trouble for NPR
Some interesting information came out of the Buzzmachine this week. It seems that The CEO of NPR, Ken Stern, has been forced out and is no longer in control. NPR spokespeople say the Internet was rising and causing competition for the popular radio news show, and that Stern was not doing to the job to solve the problem.
My question to you is, do you think this will be a big problem for NPR and its future, or will it be just another downfall which will rise back up again?

Not so Big and Bad after all
Jeff Jarvis of the Buzz Machine and his mind are at it again...more good thoughts...and this time pertaining to large companies and the control they have.
He says, and I agree, that by the time the government steps in on a company taking so much control, they are in or nearly close to being in decline.
We all know how big Bill Gates and Microsoft are. Now they're trying to buy Yahoo. But think about it...the only reason they are tryingto buy yahoo is because Microsoft does not have a successful internet stragedy. And yet if you look at the last 2 years stocks of yahoo, they are in decline as well.
I find it funny that large companies end up in debt and in decline shortly after they rise to the top of the ladder of success. Maybe some of these people should start looking into how to actually stay on top of that ladder. My question to you is..do you think with all the declines of large businesses, that eventually one day it will cause major damage in the stock market and other areas??
