Blogs have their advantages and their disadvantages just like with any public social network. When you have a blog you are writing things to the world, you are publishing things that everyone in the world can see somehow. This fact makes blogs be a very dangerous source of information and one of the main sources for cyber bullying. Everyone in the world that owns and has any way of having internet available can create a blog, whether they know how to use it or not, everyone has the availability to one. Knowing this, you know that everyone that has internet can see your blog and you can see theirs if your casually searching for something on the internet.
The advantages of having a blog are for example, if you like writing, and you want to show the world whatever you have recently done, you can post it on the blog, and everyone will be able to see it and judge it with their own criteria, whether they like it or not, people can see it. This is good for some people who like to hear people’s opinions, because in blogs you can leave a posted comment that the blog owner can see and follow the advice for the next time that person writes again.
On the other hand having a blog can be a very dangerous thing, firstly some people give too much information about themselves on the blog, and that is super dangerous now a day, because if anyone can see it, you don’t know with what person you are going to encounter in one of those blogs. Second of all it is one of the main cyber bullying sources of the internet, because you can post the blog, and write anything about anyone in the blog, and some people own blogs of Hating this girl or that guy or follow me to destroy this and that, and sometimes those blogs have led to teenagers committing suicide.
The internet is a very powerful source of information, something that we should really be careful about, because you never know who is reading you blog, who is following every post you say, and maybe how hurtful you are being to the person you blogged about. So I think that if you have a blog, it can be used for things like school subjects, were you can post anything that will be read by your teachers, and leaves nothing related to you. Having any social networking tool is very dangerous especially if you are someone who likes to post information about yourself. You always need to remember to be precautious when using a social network.
