Many of us have adapted to blogging faster than we would even attempt to spell it. Some see it as an opportunity to vent their thoughts and feelings pertaining to their personal lives, while others chose to use it as a creative way of expressing themselves and sharing their views on a particular subject. However we may choose to "blog", it is surely a lot of fun and quite addictive.
From what I have observed while surfing many peoples blogs, they are in essence, entirely personal. People tend to show their personalities through their blogs, writing anything from their hopes, dreams, values, sexual preference, fears, experiences, and daily feelings. People are known to literally cry through their blogs; sometimes they may even signal cries for help that would otherwise go unnoticed. There is a certain power in words that people have discovered and are embracing like the security blankets that they once held onto for dear life in their early childhood. Words provide a chance for people to be heard and through blogging, people can even enhance their voice with pictures, drawings, and all sorts of graphics.
It can be thought to be the new social activity, providing communication between people who share many of the same interests. There is a sense of community between bloggers. Tools are usually available through blogging services, which make it easy for the average person to set up a basic blog. Most blogs are free and some tend to focus on one particular theme such as parenting, politics, sports, marketing, etc.; and can be easily sought out by many who have similar interests and who are interested in commenting and/or saving them to their lists of favorites. Discovering new and interesting blogs can be considered by many, an adventure in itelf.
The success of blogging doesn't really have much to do with software or technology; instead, it all balls down to the fact that it allows us to interact online the same way that we do offline. We chat, discuss about everything from A-Z, and it allows us to get to know people in a different way such as reading their blog, leaving comments, and having blogs for them to read. It allows our personalities to shine and be who we are or choose to be.
It is amazing how the phone still seems alien to some of us compared to email, which lacks emotion and can accidentally provoke arguments. Letters have a long history of tying lovers together, exchanging proclamations of heartfelt devotion and still remain the key to strengthening weak ties. Blogs provide what letters once did.
Through blogs, we can converse with friends and even strangers who may one day turn into friends. Through them, we have access to the varying emotions of the entire world. Those who have yet to experienced the joys of blogging, need to hurry up and get in on the fun.
Here is five reasons why everyone should blog on a regular basis:
1. Self expression...
Everyone needs an outlet to express themselves and their passions that they want others to know about. Whether it be artistic talents, hobbies, or other interests. There will always be someone out there who share what you love. It also helps you to reflect on yourself which will results in a broader understanding.
2. Empowerment...
Owning a blog allows you to be in control of your own world(space). Vent, let others know how you feel about certain things. It provides you with a kind of freedom that anyone can benefit from.
3. Idea Exchange...
Share your insight with others and allow others to inspire you to greater heights. By posting comments on message boards and transmitting ideas from your own mind, there is no telling where one simple idea can take you.
4. Personal development...
Blogging can help us better ourselves and learn more about yourself and those around you. It forces us to step outside of the box in many aspects of our lives. It forces us to think more, write more and enhances our form of expression.
5. Fun...
The bottom line is, blogging is fun! It is unique and an inexpensive way to publish your written words to millions of people. It serves as an outlet for creative thinking and self expression. What are you waiting for? There are people all around the world waiting to hear what you have to say. Don't keep them waiting too long, it's impolite.
