So I have been perusing cyber space in order to find a few outlooks on the particular blog topic that I have decided to focus on: how the private and public worlds interact with the world of weblog. I came across one very intriging source: http://jcmc.indiana.edu/vol10/issue3/viegas.html . This source introduced a particular part of the broad subject I am researching. It focused on the accountability part of blogging.
Bloggers must understand that their audiences have no limit…blogs are public grounds which entails everyone…your boss, the university you just applied to, competing organizations, your mom, etc. the source discusses the expectations of making public grounds (the web) the venue for exchange and ultimately the broadcast of private content.
Bloggers must identify with the power, the responsibility, and the danger that blogging entails. With its ease of use and open nature blogs must be used carefully. Authors are liable for an degree or method they choose to blend and blur the lines that separate the private and public world.
