Information Explosion and The Internet Race

We can see the race happening among the top websites. Google offered blogsite, free to anyone. Face book offered space for any one to post any comment, any picture and any video(with decent filter). Now linkedin has started to offer a controlled blogsite, where limited people are allowed to express their views.

One thing is clear they are now racing for the viewership. 

There is too much of information and ideas expressed. There is too much to read. By the time you have scrolled down the webpage, you can see 'five new updates', then again you scroll up to find whats new.  And of course one of the methods to filter and read the most read, is following the trend - 'the trending'. Read the blog/article with highest hits or comments. Ok, where is the minority being saved in this internet world. 

There could be a minority which has a very good idea, which may not be supported by the system of 'trending'. Good ideas could be lost in the ocean of information. 

This is truly an explosion of information. If this can be compared to something in physical world, it would look like a nuclear explosion in the real world. 

Now the whole wonder is, are these websites completely inclined in making the world better? or looking at making their financials better than their competitors? Hope it is for the former and not the later.  

On the flip-side, there is almost nothing that you cannot get from internet. These blogsites have made original ideas to be expressed in a quick way. Before few years you had to be techy to put up your website. Now just logon and post it, whetever you want. 

It will be interesting to see the winner of the race and internet's contributions to the real world and its people.
