You Blog; I Blog

In these days, guess what is the most heated topic among bloggers? Right! BLOG!!!

I am new to writing blog but as I browse other bloggers' blogs, I could learn a lot about it. Here, I don't want to repeat other people's views (actually I don't want to infringe intellectual property rights), if you want to know more about blog, you may read Jacky's Blog, Just a sidekick, The Dukedom of Aberdeen and The Dustless Workshop. I am sure you can get a lot of ideas from these bloggers.

To me, 'blog' is a term of a very wide sense. I think it's more like a magazine on the Internet. And this magazine can be published by a single person or a group of people (I do find some blogs written by a group of people). The person who writes the blog decides the content of the blog. Thus, whether a blog is interesting or not depends greatly on the content provider.

Some people may create a blog for self-fulfillment. The blog is a place for these people to accomplish their dream of being a writer. You can find people writing a series of stories and novels. Blog becomes a platform for these people to publish their masterpiece.

Some blogs serve as commentaries. Bloggers of these blogs act as columnists. They will voice their opinions over some social issues or unfairness in life.

Some blogs are very educational too, like mine. They have a goal to achieve, like helping students to learn English. Other examples of this type of blogs are company blogs. They mainly inform their clients or public about their products and news.

Some may use the blog as a sketchbook. Whatever comes to their mind, they just sketch it down and share with all Internet users.

There are some more, like blogs about film reviews, book reviews, common interests, etc. Some simply are diaries. Some are a mixture of all the above.

Why do people like blogging then? A blog is very interactive. Readers can leave comments to you and they may even become your blog's faithful readers. It's also an excellent place for intellectual exchange as it serves as an interface between you and other bloggers. You may make a lot of friends too.

Now I blog, when will you blog? Use your imagination, creativity and intellect to create your own blog!!!
