Quando um blogger é despedido por blogar

O fenómeno da blogosfera continua a surpreender pelo poder que encerra. Quando alguém cria um blogue, não sabe quem poderá interessar-se por ele e provavelmente, durante as primeiras semanas, apenas recebe visitas de amigos e familiares. Mas, um dia, pode mudar e aquilo que se escreveu pode ter consequências importantes na nossa vida.

Digital Citizens: The blogger

"I realised how big blogging had become when I was fired," says 30-year-old blogger Heather Armstrong.
"My traffic went through the roof and the blogging community went mad," she adds.
Ms Armstrong is a blog celebrity - if there is such a thing. Her blog, Dooce, became well-known when she was fired from her job in Los Angeles for writing about her colleagues.
"I was naive. I was writing these caricatures of my colleagues. I was working in a cold, dark office doing a job that had nothing to do with the product we were making.
"I didn't think anyone would be reading it."
But people were reading it. And now more than 55,000 people a day read her blog, which has won many awards for its incisive writing, wit and honesty.
