The Blog Phenomenon

After everyone has made the decision to create a blog, I figured the time was now to create one myself. It was an assignment for class however, the openness of blogs seems very interesting. When I read blogs I read them for pure entertainment and interest on a subject, not to find out if something is factual therefore I take information on blogs with a grain of salt. People can write whatever they want so there's no telling how reliable blogs are. Many blogs are fabricated because they are based mostly on opinions of people. Personally, I feel that blogs should be open and are generally a public forum for a reason. If someone did not feel like sharing their thoughts on the internet then simply put, they would not make a blog, therefore it should be widely available. Different government regulations have been made to go over what should and should not be done with blogs and to an extent I agree with this. The biggest concern for regulations is when a blog becomes popular and has many hits per day. People will be offended, however not everyone is going to like what everyone has to say and seeing that we are in America it is a free country and we do have the right to freedom of speech. So in my opinion, type away, if you see something you do not like in a blog then it's simple, don't read it!
