BLOGGING AND INCREASED DEMAND FOR INFORMATION SHARING

Research has been conducted for a long time that there are a lot of information available but not reached the end-users. There are other useful information that dissapear with the owner without being documented or preserved in any form. Blogging is seen as the easiest way in which we can communicate ideas from every background, from story telling to provision of links to repositories of knowledge. As Jay Rosen puts it:

"Every reader is a writer, every writer is a reader."

Agricultural projects demand that whatever information generated from them be packed in a user-friendly form and widely shared. Blogging as a way to enhance the information sharing is a phenomenon that has been well explained by weblog editors (click here and here) and Clarence Fisher. Sometimes next week, The Drum Beat Chat discussion forum will host a debate on exploring the phenomena of video cameras, mobile phone cameras, and blogs used by "citizen journalists" . This is yet another opportunity to share experiences on these important tools.

Hi
You are the first that I have come across who is talking about the main source of income in our country, agriculture.

I am proud of what you do and if you think you have news that should be on the press, let me know and if it is newsworth, i will try and get it published.
