The Power of the Blogosphere

Ok it's probably not that difficult to be more efficient than the US army (or any other) when it comes to communications with Soldier's Families regarding injuries, but this is a good example of the power of blogging.

Someone who read Carla's blog had got word to a nurse at Noah's hospital in Balad, Iraq.

"He emailed me and said: 'I've seen your son. His injuries are not life-threatening.'"

The blogosphere - as the online community of bloggers is known - had passed information to Carla literally days before she got official reassurance from the army that Noah's wound was not as bad as she was initially told.
