“Anybody who has good writing skills, access to information and who can come up with an opinion about the world, investigate it, have an interesting idea … can just post it on their blog.

They don’t need the infrastructure of a news organisation to do their job; it’s all about that one solitary individual who has something interesting to say.”

That’s Jimmy Wales (Mr Wikipedia) speaking, in an interview with Matthew Buckland last month which I read on the Net just yesterday.

What Jimmy Wales says makes me feel good because that’s what I believed in when I began blogging two years ago. I believe in it even now. Jimmy Wales’ words endorse what I do as a blogger in ‘sunstruck’, my other blog, which is written in an editorial style expressing my view of the world.
