When it comes to blogs anything is
possible, there are numerous motivations and countless subjects. You can
honestly blog about anything and anyone can read it. Sometimes people blog just
to be expressive and sometimes people blog for a specific audience. There are five key motivations for why someone
would blog. The first is simply to document one’s life. The second is to
provide commentary and opinions. The third is expressing deeply felt emotions.
The fourth is articulating ideas through writing. The fifth is forming and
maintaining community forums. These five motivations are the root of why anyone
blogs. Though regardless of the motivations, bloggers have a voice and they are
expressing it to a worldwide audience. With blogging there isn't that much feedback which
is different from other social mediums. It is rare to have feedback on a blog post,
which allows the author of the blog to say whatever they want to say. According
to bloggers, it is easier to write because “no one is forced to pay attention”. Overall
blogs are a new social medium that still has room to change and grow.
Blogging is like having family, you
have your close family members, you have family members you don't want to talk
to and you have family members you see every single day no matter what. The
family members you see every single every day no matter is your audience. The
family members you don't want to talk to are people you make sure don't read
your blog. The family members that are very close to you are the people you let
know you wrote another blog post. Though regardless of who it is in your family you are seeing or talking to, it is always personal.
