Blog It Out !

Blogs! Blogs! Blogs! wherever I went, and most of what I read, had the "B" word all around. And then I really got inquisitive abut all this blog thing that took ever most of the literary world and even the world wide web for that matter. So I did my little old research, on this whole "BLOG" thing that everyone was talking about. And found out what this whole thing actually is.

According to Wikipedia: "A blog (a contraction of the term web log) is a website, 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. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

While blogger.com defied it as: "A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world. Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules."

And after reading a vast variety of blogs and different things written, about it, I came to a conclusion, that blogs are actually nothing but a persons thoughts, feelings, emotions, views perspectives and comments, in written and published, on anything and everything that surrounds him/her. Blogs give us the power to express ourselves, to the whole wide world. It not just provides voice to our thoughts, but also the medium to express it. According to me, if used wisely, blogs today can change the face of the world that we live in.

And as they say that with great powers comes great responsibility, I after a long , long thought into it, felt that even I should contribute in shaping a newer and a better tomorrow by the power of blogs. And thus I dedicate my blog site i.e thethoughtpress.blogspot.com to a better tomorrow, to my views, emotions and feelings, and to myself. And hope to respect this power and use it judiciously.
