People use the Internet for an infinite number of reasons. They shop, communicate, browse, travel, entertain, share, and read, just to name a few. The Internet's version of an editorial would be a blog, and people look to blog and bloggers for information, advice, insight, or even just a laugh. Blogs give people a chance to communicate their new ideas, offer their opinion, or just to vent or rant to anyone that will listen. Bloggers can blog about anything from celebrity gossip, to entrepreneurship, to financial advice, to world news. Blogs are an Internet past time, and give people a chance to listen to others.
Famous bloggers can have enormous influence over their followers. One very famous blogger is Mark Cuban, an American entrepreneur. Along with his blogging, he is the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and chairman of the HDTV cable network HDNet. In 2010, he is listed as #400 on Forbes World's Richest People list with a net worth of 2.4 billion.
