What does it mean to blog?

In my opinion, blogging is the act of sharing and receiving a little part of a person's life in the online community. Blogging is not only related to redacting, reading other people's work is also part of the experience. There are at least 10 blogs with different features that adapt to the reader's preferences, my favorites are Tumblr and Wordpress. The most famous blogs I know are centered on a certain topic, for example restaurants reviews, movies reviews, technology innovations, art history, etc. Most of personal blogs centered in a single person life don't become famous, with obvious exceptions, like that guy from Reddit that thought his landlord was breaking in and leaving post it notes for him. Turns out he had fucking CO poisoning and was leaving the notes himself. That's crazy, some redditor saved his life by suggesting it. People may think that there are other ways of sharing one's experiences, opinions, etc., but the truth is that internet is the perfect place for doing it anonymously.
