Why Journal Writing On The Web? blogs Are Journals Giving Anyone An Identity, And An Awesome Forum For Sharing Thoughts And Ideas With Others Of Similar Interests
by: M6.Net
Journal writing used to be a private, personal experience done late at night, scribbling hardly legible thoughts and daily occurrences down on paper amidst the haze of a barely lit room. When read over on a later date one could find connections and coincidences that sometimes brought deeper insights into the meaning of life. Also, old ideas could be rekindled that otherwise may have been forgotten forever.
In the 21st century a strange new type of journal writing is becoming prevalent in contemporary society. Called blogs, these are journals used by the masses. Why are people sharing their thoughts instead of keeping them private like the days of old? These journals are found on the World Wide Web and can be used for a number of purposes. The Web is a public sphere and human souls are realizing that sharing their ideas and beliefs can have that same epiphany type of effect on others as the old type of journal had on the personal writer. People are also feeling that they have an identity, and putting it on the Web is a great way of expressing themselves. Anyone can do it, and besides words, visuals can also be integrated into the journal, often making the blogs very appealing to readers/ viewers.
blogs are becoming an excellent way of sharing information on any and each subject. Instead of searching google for general sites about surfing, or 60s music, one can go straight to a blog on the subject in question and read daily thoughts and ideas by others with the same interest as well as expert points of view. If you own a business, you can see what entrepreneurs already based in your proposed field feel about the industry. As its a journal structure, the reader can see how certain individuals beliefs have changed over time.
As the world around us is constantly in transition, humans have always looked for superior ways of living and growing as a species. The Information Age has helped our society in innumerable ways. On-line journals are becoming the next step in giving voice to each person who has access to a personal and the Net. As well as putting ones identity out there with the masses, people are hearing the inner workings of minds with similar interests. blogs are a phenomenon helping to create a more interconnected, socially aware global community.
