Blogging and social networking are inextricably linked in the sense that both contain
certain features and certain properties of one another. Both are aimed at creating a wide
movement as far as multimedia interaction is concerned. Though it is true that blogs can
be regulated and kept very private, the main purpose of them is to reach out to a number
of people, to have a medium to voice your opinion.
Another similarity is that both these concepts have existed in cyber space for almost a
decade now, but in the initial stages both were rather exclusive of one another. Only in
the recent times have they been merged, and their similarity in motives truly recognized.
Blogging is essentially done to channel your thoughts out on to an online journal. You
also want other people to read what you have written.
This way, you go about coming in touch with people from all over the world who you
would not have otherwise known. Similar is the function of social networking. It is a hub
where the young and the hearty flock. The chances of getting an audience at such a
platform are high.
