The Blogosphere to Join United Nations
The Blogosphere to Join United Nations [Royters, 7 June 2007]
In a move set to revolutionize international diplomacy, the world wide group of bloggers collectively known as The Blogosphere is set to be represented at the United Nations. The move is seen as giving a voice to potentially millions of the world’s brightest minds.
It is yet to be confirmed however who will provide the actual physical representation at the UN. Unconfirmed sources suggest that the blogger with the bestTechnorati rank will be selected but there is believed to be strong support for other measures to be taken into account. Google page rank and Alexa statistics are two favoured by many.
There has been however opposition to the radical proposal. China is reported to be particularly concerned and is thought to be working on a ”UN firewall” to combat what it sees as an undesirable escalation of self expression. Other critics believe that this represents the next phase of plans by Google to take over the world. There appears to be no truth to the rumour that the UN headquarters are to be moved to Redmond. Similarly talk of “Digg” style voting on UN resolutions cannot be taken seriously.
Several “A-List” bloggers are reportedly working on “Making Money Online with the UN” blogs.
