Fast Company provides an excellent example of how the blogosphere impacts the world. The company joined the world of participatory journalism by creating a new Business Network section of its website. The new network is meant to be a social network that invites user-generated content through blogs created by members (it's free to register), forums, and questions and answers.
Fast Company is leveraging the powerful effects of allowing people to truly participate in a website through interactivity. By inviting users to join (and often start) the conversation, companies hope to create repeat visitors and eventually, loyal customers.
