I have chosen to keep a distance from the blogging mainstream, though I know it has spread like a California wildfire. My blogging experience has been limited to my university journalism class. My teacher, had us create a blog for a several reasons; first it is the wave of the future, so we need to know how to navigate all electronic media; second it is a great place to practice writing articles and developing a style; and finally it gives us a chance to get feed back from our peers. Question: How long did the advertisers using electronic media think they were going to have free reign before the government stepped in? I am suprised it took this long for the regulations to be implimented. "Sorry people nothing is for free!" We are a country of regulations, regulations, regulations. I am not saying regulations are necessarily a bad thing, but advertising bloggers enjoy whats left of your time!
