I had never entered the world of blogging until undertaking NET11. There are many reasons why but the main reason being because I had no real idea what they were. Sure I had heard people talk about their own blogs and thought "yeah okay, one day maybe I'll take a peak", but never seriously thought I would come to really love the concept of blogs and the freedom of expression and thoughts that they enable the writer to express.
As always when adding content to the internet, whether it be in the form of words or pictures, there is still an understanding of netiquette. Simply this means there is a standard protocol which one should abide by in order to reduce negative feedback and even sometimes physical attacks on their person. The major thing people need to understand about blogs, is what ever they write or publish over the internet now, will more than likely still be floating and available somewhere in cyberspace for years to come. How they feel now may not necessarily be the way they feel in 20years time. This is probably one major con of the internet and blogging.
There are many types of blogs available on the net. There are personal blogs that which allow you to write how you feel or maybe about your hobbies etc but these are limited to other people responding only in the form of a comment. Citizen Journalism is by far the most useable form of blogging. This type of journalism allows for mutliple writers to compile information in the one place about a certain topic of interest. They are open to anyone that wishes to take part. I have visisted many different types of blogs mostly personal about holidays people wanted to write about, leading upto blogs used for selling items for places such as ebay.
I really enjoy blogging as it allows me a certain freedom of expression that is totally mine. It reminds me of the ol' diary I used to keep under the bed but instead of hidding it from prying eyes I am putting it out there for evryone and anyone to read that wants too. I know that what I write might offend but that is the beauty of freedom of speech. I have, since starting this unit, surfed the web and read allot of other blogs from all over the world. Some have not ineterested me but others have lead me to gain knowledge of topics I would never have ever thought reading or learning about before.
In my experience everyone has a story to tell and I truely believe blogging is the ideal place share your thoughts, voice your opinions and let others hear your voice.
