From the comments I get on my blog (shameful plug, I run Remarkbox, hosted comments for static sites) I know I have changed the world, if at least just a bit.
I write primarily for myself, but I do put my words into a form that others could digest, understand, and learn from.
The words on my blog may be the butterfly flapping her wings.
I do not and likely cannot measure how much my writing changes the world and trying to do so often discouraged me from writing. Do book authors really know how much their work changes the world? To me, it seems like an infinitely complex relationship.
I can tell you I have saved many people time on their research and learning and I'm sure I've swayed some to think differently, more like me.
My blog is the storm, ans is cast out to the world and left to chaos and entropy to find who it must.
