Con l’ascesa del Social Network c’è la caduta del Blog

Sembra una legge fisica. Più sale la popolarità dei Social Network e più si assiste al continuo cadere in basso della popolarità dei Blog e delle piattaforme di scrittura libera on line. I blog hanno rappresentato per Internet, una sorta di segno che rimarrà nella storia. In molti li hanno definiti l’identità democratica di Internet per eccellenza. Infatti, gli utenti pubblicano di continuo su queste piattaforme, le proprie idee, i propri consigli, e soprattutto tutto ciò che pensano senza remore e soprattutto sentendosi protetti da un velo di privacy che li vede celati da un nick name.
L’aspirazione di avere un proprio blog, curarlo, e magari diventare un sito che va a finire nei preferiti, resta il top per un utente a cui piace dire la propria. Molti sono quelli che hanno creato il loro sulle piattaforma gratuite quali WordPress oppure su Splinder, o su altri ancora, ma oggi molto è cambiato.
La rete Web si è sviluppata ed è entrata nell’era del Web 2.0 facendo spazio a nuove forme di comunicazione quale il Social Network. Questo è andato sempre più a sostituire il Blog di prepotenza, creando una nuova figura: il Profilo. Il profilo che significava un tempo i dati di riconoscimento dell’autore (di un blog), oggi è fatto da tante piccole affermazioni di pochi caratteri che vogliono essere equivalenti ai buoni vecchi post dei blog. Rimane comunque il fatto che ci sono molte possibilità offerte dai social network di pubblicare post lunghi (vedi note di Facebook), ma sembra che comunque siano diversi da ciò che si poteva assistere per le vecchie presentazioni. Quindi cos’è questa? La fine del mondo del blog? Ebbene secondo i dati smistati da Technorati per l’anno 2008, solo 7,4 milioni di persone che hanno un blog (su un numero di 133 milioni di utenti registrati), hanno tenuto sotto controllo ed aggiornato i propri contenuti blog in un periodo che risale agli ultimi sei mesi. Questo dato, tradotto, significa una perdita di terreno dei blog del 95% rispetto ad altri siti. Cosa significa tutto ciò? Siamo veramente decisi ad abbandonare questa tecnologia per sostituirla con i social network? L’ardua sentenza ai blogger.

  12. Tree-covered mountains rise behind a pile of trash, children run through the orange haze of a dust storm, and a billboard standing on parched earth indicates where the seashore used to be before desertification took hold. These striking images, exhibited as part of the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit, show the devastating effects of climate change.

    The summit, held at the University of Oxford in the UK and supported by UN Human Rights (OHCHR), aims to reframe climate change as a human rights crisis and spotlight climate solutions. It works with everyone from policymakers to artists to get the message across.

    “Photographers document the human rights impacts of climate change, helping to inform the public and hold governments and businesses accountable,” said Volker Turk, UN High Commissioner for the OHCHR, via email. “The Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit shows the power of collective action — uniting storytellers, scientists, indigenous leaders, and others to advance climate solutions rooted in human rights.”

    Coinciding with World Environment Day on June 5, the exhibition — titled “Photography 4 Humanity: A Lens on Climate Justice” — features the work of 31 photographers from across the globe, all documenting the effects of global warming and environmental pollution on their own communities.

    Climate change disproportionately affects vulnerable populations around the world. Despite emitting far fewer greenhouse gases, low-income nations are suffering the most from extreme weather events and have fewer resources to adapt or recover.
    Photographs at the exhibition show the effects of desertification, flooding and plastic pollution. A black and white image shows the ruins of a house in West Bengal, India, sloping towards the Ganges River, with the owner sitting alongside. Riverbank erosion is degrading the environment and displacing communities in the area. Photographer Masood Sarwer said in a press release that the photo depicts the “slow violence” of climate change: “These are not sudden disasters, but slow-moving, relentless ones — shaping a new category of environmental refugees.”

    Another photo, taken by Aung Chan Thar, shows children fishing for trash in Inle Lake, Myanmar. The lake was once a pristine natural wonder but now faces the growing threat of plastic pollution. “This image of children cleaning the water symbolizes the importance of education and collective action in preserving our environment for a sustainable future,” he said.

    Organizers hope that the exhibition will help to humanize the climate crisis. “Our mission is to inspire new perspectives through photography,” said Pauline Benthede, global vice president of artistic direction and exhibitions at Fotografiska, the museum of photography, art and culture that is curating the exhibition at the summit. “It draws attention to the human rights issue at the heart of global warming, which affects both the world’s landscapes and the people that live within them.”

    “Photography is the most influential and inclusive art form of our times and has the power to foster understanding and inspire action,” she added.
