A recent CNN Technology article highlights the utilization of blog technology to accomplish a personal blogosphere that is a night and day difference from the sort of blogging applications America is used to implementing. Far away from the business blog meant to market products, publicize, update clientele, and promote industry, is the blog trading between eyewitnesses of the Israel-Lebanon conflict.

CNN cites that digital media expert Erik Sundelof has created a site specifically for blogs and images sent via mobile phone of the destruction occurring in Israel and Lebanon. Civilians living day to day with war, death, and the impending conflict on their minds can publish a blog about the sites, sounds, and most of all personal feelings through cell phone technology. The concept of blogging has opened up an avenue for constant reporting by the everyday encounter through the posting of short messages and images following the blog trend.

Blog technology assists businesses with sales lead strategies while also creating an outlet for personal posting on the serious issues facing war victims bent on simply surviving the day.
