desperate housewives and blogs

sh!t.. i juz realised i missed 2 episodes of desperate housewives. i nv missed any during school term, but during hols now, i actually missed 2.. omg omg

i juz read today's "Digital Life" and saw this article "Watch what you say online" which makes me wonder.. are online blogs a substitude for offline diaries? however diaries are private and confidential, blogs are not..

Blogs are not private and what you write is not your private thoughts that no one can read

the statement is actually very true. Whatever i write here can be seen by anyone, everyone. So it is not and will never be private and confidential.. Whatever we write on our blog is a false front, or it may be juz for show? We have to be careful of what we write for fear that we might get into trouble with the law or relationship (be it friendship, kinship etc etc) problems.. these problems are however not prevalent in diaries..

so why are we still writing on our blogs? or is this juz a trend?
to write on blogs means that u are ready to be judged by others. Though it is generally thought that what you write is none of the rest's biz.. it is not entirely true. If your writing is there for the rest to read, there are bound to be critiques..
so how receptive are you towards critiques?
