An idea just came to me.
When people mention trespassing in relation to blogs, is it really binding to say blogs are private?
Let's face it folks, when u blog, it's on the internet. Unless you password protect your posts ( my cousin did that the last time) or your entire blog, you are making your blog a public viewing. I mean sure you don't advertise it like those bloggers on Stomp etc but it's still out in the open.
So my question is this, when say people flame your blog, can you really say they are trespassing? after blog's address mostly or always start with www.( world wide web). so if it's on the world wide web, doesnt it mean you are sharing it to the world?
Granted that might not be the intention of the blogger, but i would think as long as you post anything on the internet, it should be considered open to all for comments etc UNLESS u password protect your posts, comments or for those sticking to the older traditions, stick to the writing it in your diary.
So what are your views Ladies and Gentlemen? (the thoughts that come to my head when studing for exams). Btw, your answers might actually help me in my studies since 1 of the chapters is abt the effect of technology on the English Language.

A blog is a public diary. If a person don't want anyone to see it, he/she should keep a private one. The book sort.
Or as you have mentioned, password protection.
There is no such thing as trespassing unless the website has content that is illegal in the reader's country.
Well, all that is technical. You can tell some blogs are not meant for the eyes of strangers. So blah blah blah and you eventually come to the conclusion that those bloggers are stupid for employing no filter to block people he/she doesn't know and expect no reactions from strangers.
Choice 1: Don't know how to set up filtering measures like passwords, too lazy to learn, but want to blog. Then filter own words so that only things that anyone can see is published.
Choice 2: Don't know how to set up filters, too lazy to learn, but want to blog. Proceed to say anything that comes out of your head and hope for the best.
Choice 3: Go google and learn.
Choice 4: Don't blog.
