Time magazine voted "You" as their Person of the year for 2006. Appropriately enough, "You" stands for all you bloggers who contributed your articles and videos to the World Wide Web.
Think about it... eversince this blog thing came out, how many controversies have you come across.
Bloggers have been bantering, cursing, discriminating at anything - a person, people, races, family, friends... which gives a whole new perspective of "self-expressionism". The pen is indeed mightier than the sword. Of course, these "self-expressionism" writings... who reads them anyway.... yeah The World!
Bloggers have gone to jail, fined, ridiculed publicly and for those who didn't become notorious, have even achieved famed and fortune. Yeah write your thoughts in the WWW, and you can have any one of the above.
Although blogging promotes self expression, I believe bloggers have a responsibilty too. Sure you can write anything that you want... but put yourself in your readers shoe... do you think they appreciate your thoughts?
Have you come across a blog of someone you know, and he/she starts cursing at this un-mentioned "person".... and by the end of the post, you say to yourself "Is he/she talking about me? What did I do?"... but I do have to give credit, where credit is due... It does makes an interesting reading, and you find yourself checking constantly for the next post.
So the next time you penned your blog... think about this... what would you write to get noticed?
