Blogs, online versions of personal diaries, have been a craze for quite some time now. Some of us, before the Internet age, used to maintain a small diary to jot down random thoughts, reflections, sayings, poems, and other such stuff. Their online versions, however, are much more than that. The biggest difference between a blog and a personal diary is that while the latter was a very private affair accessible not even to family members, a blog is a public account, In fact, the whole world connected to the internet gets to read its contents if they come across it. What bloggers should keep in mind while blogging is that by displaying our thoughts, emotions, opinions, and personal life in full public glory, we are revealing a part of our private life? We are giving outsiders, strangers, friends, colleagues, and relatives a full view of what’s happening inside us and without lives, something we would hesitate to do in real life. Once blogging begins, it’s difficult to control, and we end up sharing our personal thoughts and emotions that we would otherwise have kept to ourselves. The blog entices us, and we fall to be bait. Blogs don’t preserve our anonymity. They let us publish our pictures, professional and personal details, physical address and locations, etc. The biggest precaution to be observed therefore is to think twice before publishing anything and ask oneself if one would like to make such matters public. The blog readers try to judge us, understand us, get information about us, and take pleasure while peeping into our private lives without realizing it.
