Why BLOGGING?

First of all, before I give my opinion on blogging, I would like to write on the meaning of Weblogs from the previous lecture.

WEBLOGS are websites that are updated often (many on a daily basis).

Well, basically, blogging is one of the ways for us to express and share our opinion for people to read and know. Some people write about their daily routine in their blog to replace the use of DIARY that can be considered as traditional and can be lost in time if it’s not kept with care. Diary is used to keep tracks on the activities that are done during the day. Same goes to the use of blog. Sometimes, there are some people who has a short term memory loss use blog / diary to make sure they remembers the activities and even the name of the people, places around them. Blogging helps people to remember back the activities that have been done previously whether it is a bitter, sweet or painful memory. Compared to DIARY, BLOG seems to be easier and practical to the user because it’s simple. The differences between BLOG and DIARY are:
1. Blog is used online while Diary is written in books
2. Blog requires the user to sign up for the BLOGGER account while Diary doesn’t requires that
3. Blog helps the user to trace back their daily routine easily based on the MONTH/WEEK. So, people do not have to lift up the pages of the book one by one.
