“The power of technology - such as blogs - meant that the world could no longer be run by “elites”, Mr Brown said. ” — Jonathan Fildes (BBC News)

The notion that technology has changed everything, including foreign policy, has been addressed by Gordon Brown at TED Global.

The article states: ” Policies must instead be formed by listening to the opinions of people ‘who are blogging and communicating with people around the world’, he said. “

Whilst this seems like a move in the right direction, domestic inhabitants might be concerned that their views may be quashed and decisions will be led not by elected individuals, but those commanding a voice in the global blogosphere. This global approach adopted by Brown needs to consider the cross-societal issues when listening to any tom, dick or blogger across the world.

In response to a post by Aleks Krotoski, Cyberissues comments were published today on the BBC Digital Revolution Blog - all material and discussion for a new BBC TV factual programme.

The comments were discussing wikipedia in terms of a broader governance in addition to views of academic referencing of wikipedia. All posts are reactively moderated, so am taking it as a win!

Thanks to @bbcdigrev team - its a great project.
