I think that the correlation between the story of the arrow maker and us keeping an on-line blog is, that it is allowing us to speak up and speak freely of our thoughts. I believe that keeping a blog risks the way that I use my language because nobody has the same writing styles. I can write in a totally different way then someone else. By keeping a blog you are just putting yourself out there for others to basically evaluate you, in a way. Blogging and other types of communications such as facebook, myspace, texting, etc have become so popular because it is a fast and easy way to communicate with others. Its a way to stay in touch with old friends, those that live faraway and those who you never get to see.
