People write blogs to express themselves or record events that they may want to share with other people. Bloggers choose the theme of their particular blog, or just write anything that come into their mind and think that it's worth publishing.
Businesses hire people to write blogs about their company and products or even have their own blogs to promote and advertise.
Journalists usually write about news or commentaries on anything. But nowadays, anyone can write commentaries on anything by way of blogging. So, most bloggers can be regarded as journalists-wanna-be.
But even in blogosphere it can turn nasty though you think you are quite safe at your own room typing your write-ups online. At least you're away from other people and can't be harmed physically. However, others can harm you psychologically.
I'm talking about the latest news about a blogger who received death threats. According to the news, her case is not an isolated incident.
Blogging application has features to solicit or get comments from the readers anonymously. This is a good facility such that there will be an interaction with people reading your blog, and they can write some criticisms/feedback when necessary. But such facility is also abused by other people for some reasons.
So as a rule of the thumb, if you do write blogs especially criticizing others you might as well be as anonymous as possible. Also, disable the comment feature of your blog. In this way, the communication will be one way which people can only read your blogs, but they won't be able to feedback about your write-ups.
