my opinion of blogging

Blog becomes important not only in our personal life but also in our business world. Before doing blog was just sharing thoughts and the way of expression. But now, it becomes one of our marketing, advertising and boosting business tools — every company has to have blog to show the company production schedule. I am a designer toy collector and subscribe few blogs from toy companies. I was reading one of the toys company in Hong Kong that it showed the toy's production schedule to let people who subscribe their news to get ready to pre-order their toy line. Some of the blogs are just linking different toy lines to attract viewers like this one.

On the other hand, blogging encourages people to expose their privacy and personal information (email address, phone number or even address) that may make them more vulnerable to crime, hackers for stealing our identities. Recently, I heard the news that people were addicted to Facebook and Twitter that they even told people (including some people they may not know) they were on vacation certain time, later on one of the subscribers got people broke in and rob their houses. I believe we should be more caution this day that people are taking advantage of those social networks and blogs for an illegal purposes. Have to be more caution this day when we are doing blogs. Technology not just makes us more convenient to be connected but also make us more vulnerable in some cases.

Besides, even though blogging is great way for communication, we should not use as an excuse of not having direct conversation to people we know. Blogging for me is a single channel of communicating without any interaction with others. We do not want to see in our next generation, people cannot communicate with others.
