opinion
Opinions: Everyone has one.
If there is one thing the Internet revolution has brought about, it is the democratization of opinion. While the invention of the printing press greatly expanded the ability to publish one's view, it was not until the internet revolution took place that mass self-expression was truly democratized.
Freed from the constraints of traditional publishing, the internet generation is largely defined by its power of self-expression. Thanks to the Web, one's opinion need no longer be personal. Social media, forums, chat rooms and blogs have allowed just about anyone with access to a computer to share their views with a global audience.
This unprecedented revolution in self-publishing however has made one timeless question all the more relevant: whose opinion should you listen to?

Are The Edmonton Oilers a Team With No Direction?
Bleacher Report - Front Page —
Authority: 779
Dustin Penner has easily been the Edmonton Oilers best hockey player this season. With now 13 goals and 25 points and a plus/minus +11 in 23 games, Penner has been the only shining spot in an otherwise poor season for the Oilers to date. Hemsky, Visnovksy, and Ladislav Smid have also been good for Edmonton, but none ...2 hours ago -

Depressed... To the point of confusion. Why is this happening? Isnt being a Cubs fan bad enough, let alone having to deal with this? How close is this team to being listed among the elites? Five plays? Where do we go now? This is probably the most difficult question to answer for someone who bleeds blue and gold. ...4 hours ago -
