Personal View on Blogging

Firstly, there is a common misconception of blogs being a personal space for netizens to write their thoughts. While blogging is mainly informal in nature, one cannot afford to write stuff that may cause tensions among netizens, which may lead to flame wars. As blogs are accessible virtually anywhere, they can be read by ANYONE. There is no such thing as a private blog. They aren't private space where you can write anything you like and get away with it. People are hoping that blogs can at least give us the freedom to express ourselves but even this "freedom" of speech is governed by law. Where is the freedom??
