Yes, I Believe that women ARE CHANGING THE WORLD. I love blogging because it gives me a platform to express myself without censorship. Women desire to read other women’s essays and declare….”Yeah, that’s how I feel. I get it!” We want to be heard. We want to make a difference. I believe this is happening in the blogmosphere.
Hi, thanks so much for featuring our survey. Just a small point of clarification. eMarketer reported on the survey, but the survey itself was by my company, BlogHer, along with Compass Partners and iVillage.
Women in the blogosphere will change the future of history…meaning that we no longer have to rely on an elite few to tell us what was happening or what people felt and thought about it.
It’s a powerful thing!
