Discussion Question #1

I believe that the pros of blogging outweigh the cons.One said con of blogging is unreliable information. I mean, you have this flood of information out there on practically anything you can think of available on different blogs, and sure, you are bound to run into some that is false and misleading; but this does not only apply to blogs. False, misleading information can also be in the news and the newspaper, though one could argue that this occurs more with blogs. Either way, it is our responsibility to do whatever research is needed to be sure that the information we get from blogs is credible or not. Then, there are cons concerning time and dedication needed to put into a blog which can pretty much be applied to anything really. I need to be aware of the time and dedication needed for this class and being in school period. So, even though we are bound to run into blogs with false information, or even if time and dedication is needed to keep a blog up to date, with all the pros of blogging (keeping family and friends updated, expressing yourself to a large audience, sharing information, ideas and opinions, etc.), I believe blogging cons are heavily outweighed.
