Hackbloc

Hackbloc is a very interesting blog, one that is targeted towards the followers or new comers hacktivism.  The blog seeks to empower society through the means of technology.  Information is seen to be open and free and that is what this particular website fights for.  I really enjoyed the mission statement on the front page of the website.  It is shows their true commitment to liberating the masses and providing alternative forms of media.  Hackbloc is full of great articles and ideas, many of them relating to the larger picture of Citizen Media.  I look forward to discussing some of the articles used in the website on my personal blog.

I have noticed that the posts on the website discuss a wide variety of ideas and news headlines.  This is great to see as it shows to me that the website is open to a wide range readers.  With so many different stories and concepts it allows many people to become interested and perhaps even involved in hacktivism.  Not only that, but it gives society a great resource for finding alternative sources for news.  It seems like all news coverage these days are bias in someway, but hackbloc does a good job in remaining unbiased in the articles they present.  This is important because it doesn't influence the reader, all the article does is present the information in a strictly journalistic format.  With this in mind, it is much easier for the reader to form an opinion that is their own and not that of the powerful news media elites.  

Hackbloc also allows readers to post their own stories they deem important to the world of hacktivism.  The site is very interactive and is great for the world of citizen media.  This is a great site to gather alternative forms of information and ideas but it should not be the only place where you get you information.  It is important to explore and find different ideas and opinions on certain subjects that are facing society.  This way we can become much more knowledgeable about world affairs and see how the world truly is.
