To Blog or Not to Blog?

I have never blogged before, and I cannot say that I ever will in the near future (besides for this class), but blogging is a great way to express and voice your opinions, share a story amongst your friends, teach a lesson, persuade a group of people, or just to vent about drama.  Many people today use Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and blogging to share their opinion on a topic of their choice.  This helps many people from teenagers to adults express something when they are feeling down, happy, angry, etc.  Your own blog is left for you to determine what is posted, and whether you decide to keep it open for all to read, or kept as a personal online diary just for yourself, a blog is a way to express yourself.  Blogging can be a great tool, as I have been able to read my indoor field hockey coach's blog, who plays internationally.  She blogs about her experiences in other countries.  Blogs are not essential to human survival, however, they serve as a great, personal space to express yourself.
