Dina Mehta: My Blog is my Social Software and my Social Network.I have always thought about weblogs as one of the pillars of "Social Software", even if recently I have seen the term used to indicate sites such as Ryze, LinkedIn, Friendster, Ecademy and in the last few days Orkut.
I have joined all these services, but so far I have not met anyone I didn't already know somehow, at the same time blogging in the last two years made me meet a lot of friends, partners and customers.
I'm not saying that these services don't work, I have played a little fith LinkedIn recently and I'm planning to try to use it to find new prospects, but they didn't do any magic. This weblog did.

This
is one of the most effective pieces of political advocacy I've ever
seen. Ben Cohen, the Ben of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, narrates a short
Flash movie for TrueMajority.org, in which he explains -- using Oreo cookies
-- the way that the federal budget is currently apportioned, and how
little rearrangement would be necessary to renew all of America's
social programs. The examples are vivid and charming, and the logic is
compelling.
