I also did a session on Blogging (Terminologie, how to get started etc) at the India Advocates Day on Sunday. One of my fellow MVPs raised the question of privacy of the information that is in the blog. His point was that people usually do not think about the millions of people who can access your blog and so get to know a lot about you. His cited the example of one of his friends who went for an job interview and after the interview the interviewer asked, "So how did your wife like the perfume you bought for her??".

I really think it is a very good point. Most new bloggers forget about google power and the wide spread of the web. My take on this is, I always keep in mind that whatever I blog is out there for millions to read. Once you start thinking of that, you automatically kind of find what is OK and what is too personal to go into your blog. In the end it is a very personal decision each person has to make. How much of himself is going into his blog??
