Is this the end to blogging and Social Networking?

So with MySpace having to tackle sex offenders and Facebook fighting for its life the offline news have been reporting online events and not in a good light. Is this the end to blogging and social networking?

Is this the start of the end? Have we taken the first steps down a slippery slope where we all see our freedoms regulated much more closely?

Social networking and blogging are founded firmly on the ability to speak our minds and post it up as quickly as we can think about it. We can all post content to our blogs and social networking accounts in seconds.

Being a blogger and IM marketer I am concerned that these types of events draw the attention of governments and regulatory authorities who just may use this type of news as a reason to meddle in our online affairs.

It is fare to say that all online authors have a personal and moral responsibility to manage their online actions and content. All too many of us forget that what we say online is open to be read by every one; that's the power we have when using the World Wide Web.

I am not sure where all this will end but are we about to see another dot com crash and the fall incomes from online businesses through our own greed and miss management of the power of the internet.

These small events can become major issues online in a matter of hours. This can result in the world we live in looking very different over night. It is up to us bloggers to show we can be trusted.

I am only one blogger but I can still make a difference. I can only hope that the major players out there set the example and promote socially acceptable blogging.

I might just be getting my knickers in a twist about nothing but at least we should take note that if event online are being picked up buy offline news then things may be out of our control. We must be able to show we can keep our house in order.
