What is your gutfeel about blogging?

[Editor]

I have to put up this question today because i came across a piece of news stating that India's tennis sensation Sania Mirza has charged a blogger of being an imposter and writing a blog in her name. This situation has put the not so popular art of 'blogging' itself in the limelight.

This little known phenomenon of blogging(or creating a web log) is now being endorsed by hitherhito most of the users on the Internet. In today's day and age, when one has to find ways and means to express and vent out feelings and thoughts, this is a good option perse. Many introverts who are not as expressive turn extroverts...that is the power of words, i feel. But, as with the pros of everything, there also has to be cons of it. The Sania Mirza incident is one of the example.

I feel that blogging is a very nice way to express and share one's personal thoughts with friends and strangers alike. I have been to very many creative blogs myself. This is also a very nice way to record thoughts and comments for posterity, just like maintaining a personal diary. Many a bloggers may turn into future authors...who knows...but this is also prone to misuse...What is your gutfeel on the issue?

I do agree, blogging is really a nice way to share your feeling and vent your emotions. Also, it helps you to connect to number of people sitting thousands of miles apart.

As far as misuse goes, I feel a blog should be well administered and looked after. There should be regular cleaning should happen of un-wanted comments and posts. You need time to maintain your blog.

In fact, I am planning to start my own blog. At present am looking for a nice domain name and web hosting.
