By Leo Babauta (of ZenHabits)
The explosion of blogs throughout the world has been the biggest phenomenon since the rise of the Internet itself. Today, more people read blogs than newspapers.
And yet, blogs are dismissed as rants and ego-tweakings, because so many of them are personal journals or the ravings of madmen.
But take note: bloggers will change the world, and have already begun to do so.
The initiative on this website, Blog Action Day, is just one vehicle for that change, but it is a powerful concept: thousands of bloggers unite, for just one day, to talk about one issue. Will that change the world, just one day? Not immediately, but it in effect unites the blogging community. And once the community begins to unite, anything is possible.
Blogger James McGovern talked about how bloggers could change the world if they focused on others instead of themselves:
“If every blogger reading my blog instead of choosing to exercise their right to remain silent instead decided to spend just five minutes talking about poverty to one or two other individuals, poverty would be eliminated.”
There is truth in that statement. I’d take it even further: blogs have already changed the world, or at least a part of it, in several ways. And they will continue to be a force of change as their power grows.
Blogs are just a tool, of course. It’s the bloggers behind the blogs that will make the difference. Here’s why:
- Freedom of speech. Blogs allow ordinary citizens to exercise the power of the freedom of speech in ways that have never been possible before. Sure, we were always able to get on a soap box and spout off, but until now, there was no way to really be heard. And sure, even now it’s hard to be heard with so many blogs out there, but there’s no question that it’s much easier to be heard by a global audience now than it once was. The freedom of speech is a powerful tool, and one that is taken for granted by many people in the industrialized world. Blogs make that tool even more powerful.
- Power of the pen. Along that vein, the pen has always been a powerful weapon (and is famously, of course, mightier than the sword). When people are silent, things stay the same. But when they wield the power of the pen, things can change. Blogs give the power of the pen to more people, and make it mightier than ever.
- Reaching the public. There was a time when you could organize a small group of people, and come up with an agenda that could change the world … and then have it go nowhere. Why? Because there was no good way to reach a large portion of the public. People just couldn’t hear you. Newspapers and televisions would ignore you, because your agenda didn’t fit theirs. And so your ideas went nowhere. Today, all of that is still very possible. But it’s also possible to reach a much wider audience than ever before, and thus powerful ideas can actually reach a general audience.
- Raising awareness. The main problem with trying to effect any change with any issue is that people are ignorant of the issue. With enough awareness of an issue, and the reasons that the issue is important, things will start to change. And if one blogger talks about an important issue, and other bloggers hear him, their awareness will be improved, and then if they blog about it … you can see how blogs can change the way that awareness is changed, and therefore the way the world is changed.
- A global discussion. In no period of human history was it possible to have a discussion that reached as many people in as many parts of the world as it is today, with blogs. In even the recent past (just 10 years ago), if you had a discussion about something, even a community-wide discussion, the reach of that discussion was limited — unless you had the power to reach the global media, which is a power given to a limited few. Today, the things I write about on my blog reach dozens of countries in every continent in the world. It’s “globalization” in a positive sense of the word.
- The power of many. One person fighting for change is like a butterfly trying to fight a windstorm. But if you get two people together, or 10, or a hundred, and soon you have a group strong enough to stand up to that windstorm. And if you can get thousands or hundreds of thousands of people together, talking about one issue, fighting for change, pretty soon they ARE the windstrom. And the power of the group becomes multiplied, and change is inevitable.
- The speed of change. In the olden days (again, 10 years ago), an idea or a movement, if it were powerful enough, could spread like wildfire. The movement for change could spread from town to town, city to city, country to country, at a rapid speed. Today, the potential speed of an idea makes wildfire look like molasses on a cold day. Change is no longer measured in years, months, weeks or even days — it’s measured in minutes and seconds.
- Interaction. While in the olden days (see above), the mass media could reach a wide audience quickly, it was one-way communication. Print publications or broadcast media reached the many, but the many couldn’t really talk back or interact with the news in any way. Sure, there were letters to the editor and similar features, but that was slow and extremely limited, and in effect made it a two-way street (even if one of the lanes on that street was really tiny). Today, it’s not just a two-way street — it’s a million-way street, as every person can interact with every other person directly. Bloggers can comment on other blogs, or post about things written on other blogs, or link to posts, or email each other, or IM each other, or work together on a group project. The limits of interaction between the blogging community, and the world in general, are the limits of imagination only.
- Instant news and opinions. While once upon a time, the news came out the next day (and later, the news began to come out that same evening), these days the news cannot keep up with the blogs. An event happens, or is speculated to be happening soon, and it’s blogged about instantly. The news cannot compete with that kind of speed. And while commentary would usually follow the news by a slight lag, today commentary is just as instant as the information it is commenting on. It’s in the same blog post, in fact. With that kind of instant news, and instant opinion-giving, change is not only inevitable, it is coming at you faster than you can press the “publish” button.
- Coverups are uncovered. It used to be relatively easy to cover up a scandal or negative information. The government, or a large corporation, just had to ensure that the information didn’t reach the media — not that hard a task, as the media was made up of only a handful of people, who were already too busy trying to cover the rest of the world’s happenings. Today, bloggers have replaced the media (to some extent), and they are many. And while they are busy, they are never too busy for a good scoop. It’s much harder to cover something up these days (though not impossible), as it just takes an errant word or email or Twitter from an employee or a family member, and the blogging word has it. A politician cheating on his wife? While the media’s cameras might not have been at his motel in the olden days, the motel’s janitor could certainly be a blogger these days (or more likely, the motel’s tech guy), and he might just have a camera on his cell phone for taking juicy pictures. Coverups aren’t so easy anymore.
- Easier to research an issue. With old media, we were told something, and unless we had inside information or detailed knowledge, it was hard to dispute the information given to us. That’s changed. Now, every fact can be verified or researched, every topic is easily accessible, and everyone can check the facts themselves. That empowers the average citizen, instead of making him a passive consumer of information. And empowerment is the first step towards change.
- Viral ideas. This is an overused term, of course, but the term “viral idea” is in itself an example of a viral idea. It was used a few times, and the power of the idea caused it to spread rapidly among bloggers. The ability of an idea to spread throughout the blogging world depends upon its power, its usefulness. And so, one idea can change the world, if it’s the right idea and if it catches on.
- Created a new world. Bloggers haven’t just begun to change the world — they’ve created an entirely new world. It’s often (annoyingly) called the “blogosphere”, but we’re just going to call it the blogging world, or community of bloggers. It’s a virtual world, of course, and the bloggers don’t actually physically interact (except during conferences and meet-ups), but that doesn’t make it any less of a real world than other communities. For example, in most places, physical interactions between most citizens of a city are very limited. Sure, I might interact with a dozen people today, but don’t physically interact with many more that I see on the streets, and I don’t even see most of the people in the city. Still, we are a community, because we have similar concerns, we are affected by many of the same things, we interact with each other in many ways — physically, on the phone, through the media, and virtually, through representative government. The blogger community is just as real, and in fact we interact with each other even more than many people in the physical world do. At any rate, we have become a world of millions of people, and that world is growing, changing, forming itself, and shaping future reality.
- Government-influenced media bypassed. In many countries, there is a nominally free press, but the media is actually greatly influenced by the government. Actually, that’s true to some extent even in countries such as the United States, Europe, Australia, Japan and other places with a supposedly free press. The government has a larger control of the media than many people realize (see Chomsky for more). But the control by government of the media is extremely strong in other countries, and it is in these countries that bloggers can have the most powerful and immediate impact. Government can control the media, but in most cases it cannot control the bloggers, and therefore the bloggers are the instruments for getting the truth to the citizens of that country, and to the rest of the world.
- No central control. Along those lines, besides the lack of government control, there is no central control whatsoever. One problem with the corporate model, and the model of a central government, is that it relies on central control. That inhibits the individuals who are not in control, restricts their power, stifles speech, cramps creativity and imagination, and severely limits the potential of any group. But bloggers, on the other hand, are a community of individuals, free to do and say as they want, free to associate as they please, free to create without approval, empowered to act and to enact change.
- It gets you thinking. Aside from lack of awareness, one of the problems that prevents positive changes is that people often don’t think about certain issues very much. They are apathetic, or they passively consume information, or they think about what’s going on in their daily lives without thinking about what’s going on in the world as a whole. But blogs get discussion going, and get people talking about issues, and get them thinking about them. And just that little act, of getting people to think about an issue for a couple of minutes, has the potential for powerful change.
And that’s what we, the blogging community, are doing here with Blog Action Day. We are getting people to think about an issue (the environment, this year) for just a few minutes, and planting the seeds for changes to come.

The blogosphere is growing rapidly (what is it, 180,000 new blogs daily?) and it certainly has lots of voices and useful information. Before I started blogging I thought just like many of those who don’t read blogs. I thought they were just personal diaries, not really useful to anyone. But, once I started blogging and learning about the blogosphere I realized how great it all really was and I think as more people come to realize this blogging will become even more popular.
Bloggers have already taken over, they’ve become an important way to disseminate information - especially when it’s something very very controversial or critical. The HD-DVD keys quickly flowed across the ‘blog-o-sphere’ (hate that word) making it all the more difficult to stop the flow of information. So in that respect it has changed how we interact with the world, and corporations are taking notice as they know that they can now be held accountable by even the most powerless and neglected consumer. It’s no longer buyer beware, it’s Corporation Be Scared.

Up until then I will be consciously compiling a photoblog around San Diego County related to the environment…
Blogs have successfully turned the voice of common people into effective and influential opinions. To me, it means true empowerment.
Even i have thought of writing some thing on the same topic. But, i guess you have done a wonderfull job.
Some of the blogger i get the chance to know are already writing serious and political issues in their own respective blog.. the thing that concern me is somehow in certain political issues, which ever (opposing or government) side they are in, have the tendency to “used” or blogger let themselves be “used” in others political agenda and deviate from telling honest truth. Everybody seems to have their own secret agenda in this. I feel very sad about it….. freedom of speech does it truly exist?
I fully support this. I’m writing something longer but it’s taking time. Cheers!
I wholeheartedly agree with this movement and will do everything that I can do with my blog to promote this cause. It is absolutely important! Thank you for beginning this, I hope it does indeed change the world.

Going to start doing some video blogging as we can do better for this world
Bloggers have already changed the world. They have shown that the MSM doesn’t have the stranglehold it once thought it did.
Yes, we can and do directly affect the public perception of events. The main media may quote, usually in a dismissive tone, what the “bloggers” are talking about, but we see them beginning to mimic what we set in motion.
Blog Action Day/week/month is a perfect way to focus attention of those who may be blogging with the hope of generating revenue for the most part.
For the most part my postings about the lack of transparency in a nonprofits fiscal dealings & bonuses gets very little traffic compared to the one about fixing the flash video sound on Firefox under Ubuntu Linux.

Anyways, all of you creative, entrepreneurial bloggers who want to change the world might be interested in the Knight News Challenge (http://newschallenge.org) - it’s a contest for people who have big ideas about online media and community building, but so much in the way of funds.

No doubt bloggers are a force by themselves but not all bloggers get the attention they deserve. I may be right or wrong in this regard but my experience shows that if you write about something serious or burning issues there will be few takers. And the old guards like me who are not so well versed with the computers find it hard to navigate around so that they can make themselves heard.
Great initiative, i hope it will have a big impact!
To be aware of ecological problems, and ask to individuals to be more “ecologists” in their acts is an excellent idea as too few peuple seem concerned by this problem..
But they have no much weight if our respective governements do not transform these actions in the law, and do not respect themselves these principles.
The example must come from to top, maybe under the pressure of famous people, not from ordinary people who have no mean to make pressure on authorities and industrials.
In democratic countries, each can speak or protest freely, so mass actions have not always the expected result and cannot always convince a governement freely elected to change his mind. There are also many contraints, economical, social and political, that work against ecology.
It is an everyday fight and at large scale, not only a one-day action from bloggers.
Personally, there is a large section on my blog dedicated to environnment issues (one article per week), and I will continue to develop this important subject in the frame of the sustaining development.
I agree with many of your statements here about the power of the pen and changing the world. This Blogger is wonderful. You are right, we are able to have so much expression here. It’s a powerful tool of communication. Would it be possible to Unite on some other issues and call the bloggers to write about perhaps poverty or discrimination or leaders of the next generation etc.?
I did one evironmentalism post already a few days ago, but I’ll gladly do another.
This blog initiative is great!
I’m IN.
Hello,
I also think that bloggers can change the world. Blogging is very popular indeed. And blogging is a way to reach a lot of people in a fast way.
I compare it to amateur radio. In the days that there was no tv and almost no radio amateur radio broadcasters reached out to each other.
I live in Zeeland, the Netherlands. In 1953 we had a big flooding that caused a lot of lives. The first way that the rest of Holland knew about this disaster was because of amateur radio broadcastings.
Blogging can be that important too. The only problem is the language. In daily life im a Dutch speaker. But if I want to reach many other bloggers I can’t write in Dutch. So I started a blog in English.
I’m trying to get in contact with other bloggers that think the world is ill, but not incurably ill.
quote: that caused a lot of lives
should be: That cost a lot of lives..
Blogs are important for our freedom of information and for being able to see fuller stories about events around the world. As our media is getting more and more restricted to controlled and canned information, the internet and blogs are a good resource, as long as they are not defamatory, ugly, or lies.
The action blog sounds great. A friend of mine has a similar idea regarding charities. Each day, party goers (bloggers) will blog about a charity, philanthropy, or event that is making the world a better place. They also be encouraged to write about a person who is an inspirational leader in that organization or someone who just believes in helping others. Bloggers can write in their privacy of their own homes or they can invite friends to join them for planned blog parties at a coffee shop, restaurant, or pub.

Wow, well I really don’t appreciate the undermining of bloggers in the second paragraph.
like that really ruins it for everyone.
I don’t know how many people read blogs around the world but what is important here is the huge impact blogging can cause on people, sincerely I’m a newbie on this topics of blogs but I can spend a little bit of my time writting about hungry, wars, animal rights, totalitarian regimes that makes people slave of corrupt ideals, …
I really think this effort may affect the point of view of many people, even though not all of them change. The point is, the more we achieve the people’s attention to change the world the little closer we are to improve it for all of us.

has anybody noticed the silliness of this: “What would happen if every blog published posts on the same topic, on the same day? One issue. One day. Thousands of voices.”
shouldn’t that read: “Thousands of unheard voices?” Seems silly to think that “thousands of voices” will be read by anyone, or SHOULD be read by anyone … shouldn’t we all just stick to what we know, instead of posting on a topic chosen for us? I know a whole lot about Religion, Far Right Extremism, and the Law, but my voice in a discussion about environmentalism should be considered the ramblings of a misinformed fool … i mean, really, i like what i say, but other people should be listening to scientists!
Y que instrumento más poderoso hay para cambiar el mundo que la palabra?

Wow, bloggers change the world. The idea is great.
Neoliberalism is the problem. It is the control of the world by market forces. There is no allowance for the sacredness of the environment or even understanding that the environment supports us. Instead all is food for the sacredness of the business market.
John Howard is the chairman of the international organization I.D.U. It is an organisation of the far right and religious. A couple of weeks before the last election a British Lord dropped a million pounds into the Liberals election funding.
Worshipping the false God of money rather than the ancient Earth Goddess is dooming us to a future of extinction.
Continue with sacred earth rituals and know that the earth hears and will gather strength by our communication. Believe in the impossible and investigate the brainstem and the amygala, reservoir of ancient knowledge and experience both wonderful and traumatic. We have been hypnotised for centuries with the basic method of using violence at the same time as conditioning. It also has something to do with group behavior. There is a lot of hypnotised people out there.
