I have always been a journal keeper. It all started way back in the school. I'm not too fastidious about it. Nevertheless, I always confessed everything in my journals.
Journals do serve a cathartic purpose. They never give you away, as the best friends sometimes do. Of late, I think web is the best place to maintain a journal. After all, BLOG is Web + LOG. I find following reasons in favor of using blog as a journal:
1. With Internet being ubiquitous, the journal is accessible every where.
2. One way of going green. Can get rid off expensive diaries and notebooks.
3. With mobile connectivity, journal entries can be posted from the comforts of bed, bath room, bus, for that matter from anywhere.
4. Need not worry about the privacy, if the account is password protected.
5. Like papers, the blogs don't get yellowed or dog-ears.
6.It is searchable.
However, I'm given to doodling, which I can't do on blogs. Of course, there are Apps for that too.
I will explore the options to make doodling net friendly.
On the flip side there could be a concern of security lapse. But I trust Google. They are equipped to keep the blogs safe.
