You're right though, the web is developing so fast and we're still learning how to deal with it and the "right" way to do things.

As a new blogger myself, I am still testing the waters regarding what I should post. For example, if I wanted to write something negative about a family member, I would probably hesitate rather than post it (this is not to say that I have anything bad to say about anyone right now; I am just using an example). For me, it is better to actually talk to the person or at least use email than to blog about the issue and put it out there for the world to see for an infinite period of time (regardless of whether the person is aware of the blog's existence.) Of course I could choose to delete the post but by then it's already been exposed. Debra I should have elaborated more in my original comment.
