And I ask myself...
What is the purpose of a blog?
Some people blog about their interests, such as food, sports, and even celebrities. But majority of blogs are for personal use. So, what is the purpose of a personal blog? I guess for the majority of the ppl, it's to update their friends, especially those whom we have not met in a long while (those whom we neglect due to our busy multi-tasking lives.. but that's for another blog post). So my question is, do you use blogs an avenue to express oneself, or to express what you want others to think of you?
For new media politics, I guess political blogs show all the 'good' stuff. But if you are an individual with no reputation at stake, will you hide what you want to get off your chest badly? Or keep it under lock and key?
Whatever happened to freedom of expression? Are people being too afraid of being judged nowadays?
But I guess I'm not one to talk.
