Who said blogs aren't private? There is an option where you can keep the blog entire private or allow only your friends to read it - not the common readers. Then it becomes private, isn't it?

Of course you have the option, but when people think of monetizing it they need to have others read it and get more views - Some blogs are more like article writing sites including mine :cheer: , which is anything but private !!!

My handwriting is poor and so I stopped writing. I never wrote diary of personal events. The vents like academic qualification, appointment, promotion, retirement etc are on record and documented. Sol, no need fore a diary. I used to maintain a diary of phone nos and address. Now no diary. Only phone- fixed and mobile, email and Facebook, twitter and most important, Boddunan.
I feel that people write on internet even such things that they would never write in a paper diary.

Well, poor handwriting will give you an advantage as no one will know what you have written :laugh: :laugh:
But jokes apart, yes there are people who write on blogs what they wouldn't have generally written in a diary. But what do you think the reasons might be?

You have also an option to publish or not. As long a you do not click 'publish', the contents can be seen only by you.

Blog is better than a diary no one can login to your accoutn and look at your blog.
