What is a Blog?
I think a blog started as a way for people who have limited social lives to be able to tell someone, anyone, about the events in their lives. However, I think blogs have out grown their innocent beginnings and have been over run by many immature people who will post just about anything, no matter how insensitive or vulgar. I believe that internet bullies have begun to take advantage of the ability to post on a blog without it being known it was them. I personally do not like using a blog, partly because I do not have a very active life, and also because I like to keep parts of my life private unless I am sure of who I want to tell it to. I think a blog should be a away to get things off your chest, ask advice, or anything else you want in a safe environment. I rarely read blogs myself, though I do read one or two once in a while. Blogs are currently a major fad, though they will probably remain popular a long time into the future.

I agree with you on that I would like to keep things private in my life to. With that thought I don't think that you necessarily have to post those things. I know that many people post "private" pieces on there pages but your blog should be what you want to post until you decide you want to post those things. Sometimes though posting those private ideas could give people a different perspective on who you really are. Let them know the person you really are.
I too rarely read and write blogs, and for the same reason that you stated. I don't like to post details of my life for everyone to read. But Justin proves a good point, that sometimes posting certain details lets people know who you really are, that it's up to you to post whatever you want. About the internet bullies and the immature people, I sometimes think they're bored so they post stupid things to get attention probably. I agree with you that blogs are probably going to continue to get popular because now companies are using them to advertise themselves.
