Yes and no. People think that a blog is just like an online diary, but there is many differeneces between them. Today I will share with you the similarities and differences between a blog and a diary.
DIFFERENCE:
- A diary is alwys kept personal, so that only you know what you write in your diary. Normally, Blogs is a public area where everbody can see what you post onto it.
- A blog can be commented on while a diary cannot.
- A blog is in reverse chronology, showing the latest entry on the front, while a diary is not.
- A journal is where people write their closest feelings that record the most intimate aspect of a person's feelings and thoughts and these are things that the writer feel close to and only the writer has the right to read its content.While on a blog, writers do not share their stories into such intricate detail with all their feelings written in as they know that other people will read it, therefore, making a blog less realistic and believable.
- A blog can also be a platform to advertise or promote their ideas, products, etc. Many people see a blog as a marketing tool as it gives them a very powerful microphone, however, a diary cannot be used as a marketing tool.
- Multimedia can be added into blogs while it can't be added into diaries.
- They are both platforms to express one's opinions, thoughts, and ideas.
- Both diaries and blogs are usually written in 1st person.
- We get freedom of speech on both diaries and blogs. (except for offensive remarks)
