Last assignment. The last but not the least!

The Blogs: advantages v/s disadvantages


This essay is about the adventages and disadvantages of using blogs. For that is very important define what is a blog. A blog is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.

This instrument have so many adventages and disventages, bescause all the electronic things have one. For example, in the United Stated the emergence of blogging has brought a range of legal liabilities and other often unforeseen consequences.
Several cases have been brought before the national courts against bloggers concerning issues of defamation or liability. The courts have returned with mixed verdicts.
Also there are consequences in politically sensitive areas. Blogs are much harder to control than broadcast or even print media. As a result, totalitarian and authoritarian regimes often seek to suppress blogs and/or to punish those who maintain them.
One consequence of blogging is the possibility of attacks or threats against the blogger, sometimes without apparent reason. Some people,authors of innocuous blogs was the target of such vicious threats and misogynistic insults and they must cancel the keynote speech, fearing for they safety.

But not all is bad. The blog have good things too. Like a "writing therapy". Scientists have long known the therapeutic benefits of writing about personal experiences. Blogs provide another convenient avenue for writing about personal experiences. Research shows that it improves memory and sleep, boosts immune cell activity and reduces viral load in AIDS patients and even speeds healing after surgery. Other benefits there’s an easy way to post updates for any topics you like. Once the site is up and running it’s easy to add updates. It runs like a blog which means you just write the article, hit publish and your new, up to the minute information is there for all to see. Easy, simple, no extra cost and entirely within your own control. The last benefits that I saw is that some readers and visitors just want to get information and go again. But others will want to comment, to sign up for updates, to be prompted to come back when there’s some new information or a new product on offer. Stand alone blogs work for some purposes - but don’t or can’t meet every business need. A website without a blog will limit what you can do: it becomes out of date very quickly, and chances are you will find it tricky to keep it fresh, topical, interesting and relevant. Combining the two together and you have got an extremely heady mix… and the best of both worlds.

I came to the conclusion that the blogs have more advantages that disadvantages, because they have managed to occupy a great space in the life of the human being. They passed to be a web site where the author can express from his or her feelings, changed, share up to certainly with other users experiences lived of his or her personal life, of his or her intimacy. " It is a web page marked by the personality of the author, who prints his or her stamp with the writing... "
