According to my own interpretation, blog is an online platform that allows others to view one's opinions and exchange ideas. It is just a mini community that people who are interested in certain topic "to gather together".
I like the diversify environment that blogging provides, as blogs are often being classified into several categories, like sports, arts & crafts, etc. Bloggers can feel free to post any reflective comments on each category. Ideas can be transmitted in light speed through this effective tool. Yet, if bloggers tend to spread rumors, it could be a disaster. Just like the issue that some Chinese believe the online information of consuming large amount of salt can help to prevent the radioactive materials coming from Japan after the earthquake. All chaos are just created by signal post. Therefore we must keep our minds clear to distingush the credibility of information provided by blogs.
Besides, blogs can bridge different generations and nationalities together. It is true that bloggers with different background can have an equal opportunity to share their views, provided that they have free and stable internet connections. Blog can be one of the medium for disabilities to find their position within the community.
Blogs can extend the normal interactions between people by provding different functions, like subscription and feeds. These often attract me to step into my friend's little world, so I can know the invisible/ pretending sides if them. It is interesting to do so. And our views of world can be expanded by the exploration of anynomous weblogs.
