Do you use blogs to vent or is it that you have a lot to say?

I was wondering, i have noticed that the majority of peoples post have been about things that have happend to them or in there life, and in most of the discussions it goes into serious detail about things that dont really pertain to the original posts. Is this because you are trying to make your post longer? Is it because you have a lot to say? Or is t striclty a good way for you to vent? For me it is a little bit of all. There are sometimes where i have something i want to say and then when i get it all typed up it doesnt seem long enough or to the point so i have to add to it to get my point across and then as im ading to it i think well i should describe exactly WHY or HOW this particular discussion became about.. and at the same time, im home with 3 kids all day long and i need some adult communication once in a while that instead of sneaking in my room and writing in my journal it is much more pleasing for me to turn on my laptop and just type away. and even if i hav nothing to say interesting that happened to me that day i can still come up with a discussion beccause as my husband puts it " i like to hear myself speak". so what about you?? Is this a good venting for you or is it that you just hve a lot to say?

I have three blogs and each of them talks about different dimensions, however there is one among them which talks of feelings, researches inlfe, the outcome and the solutions, I would say sometimes It does allow me to write my personal experience to make others feels interested to voice out too. It works as there are people who come by and say that this is the only place they can say what they want to say.

I like to use blogs to express my ideas and opinions. I also like to see what others have to say on the same subject. Using a blog just to vent sometimes is not worth the time or trouble.

Most of us have used social media as a channel to vent our frustrations at one point or another, whether it be on facebook, twitter, or writing a blog post to bash a not-so-anonymous ”someone.” I think it is all part of the “new norm” now. We all seem to know much more about each other than in the past. FB, Twitter and blogs are the new diaries. So that other people can learn from their experience. Stay away from bad service or that the comp can improve their services. Generally, I try to restrain myself from broadcasting my emotions via social media; but it’s so tempting sometimes! I’ve even gone as far as typing it all up, hovering the mouse above the “submit” button, and then quickly deleting the entire thing. Keep Smiling Have a nice day...:)

Sometimes I use it to vent. I think it is better to vent things about my personal life with people who don't really know me It's more comfortable than telling it to someone you know and might be passed around. Sometimes I do have a lot of things to say, too but I force my self to cut it short, otherwise it will become a boring read

almost time, I just read the discussion I have interest out loudly. Of course, I wrote some of my life, something I won't write in my mother tongue, Chinese, in my Chinese blog, so I wrote them out in English. Even if there is no one would like to read. I just want to record them for myself. That's my way on mylot.

When I am responding, it depends on the topic. If it doesn't need a lot of words to say , I only wrote few lines. But,if the topic is something that gives me reason to vent or opportunity to share my feelings ...for sure, I will have a very long statement in there
