Social Media and the Weblog World

As I reflect upon the vast interconnected system of communication present in today's world, my thoughts revolve around the influence that social media holds on distinct cultures.  Do Germans uphold cultural heritage when they use Facebook?  Can a government, like India's, promote or control social agendas via telecommunication devices?

Perhaps these questions are answered in the weblog research projects created by my Global Impact of Social Media students.

Good research begets informative results.  The use of Web 2.0 technologies, like blogs and Twitter, allows people from geographic distances to learn about new and exciting cultures.  A new method of border crossing experience that is real, relevant and interactive.
