The “New Media” and the potential of the AfroSphere

Asa, over at the Afrospear, wrote a great article regarding the need for the new voices being heard via the internet. Here is the link, and here is an excerpt (that sums things up very well):

"It is this participation, or the potential of the power of this participation, which makes the blogosphere in general and the “Afrosphere” in particular such a potent force. It brings people together who would have never had the opportunity to connect before and through these relationships, we have the ability to expand our focus, influence and experiences. Through blogging, I have been able to communicate with many people throughout the world. People I have never met face to face and most likely, never will. People from different countries, as well as a variety of political, religious, economic, cultural and social backgrounds, beliefs, values and opinions"

Very well said.
