As I finished the book, I couldn't help but feel some type of connection as Rettberg showed examples of how blogging can be a way of "self exploration" as she put it. She gives an excellent example in regards to the blog, named "Chronicles of Dr. Crazy," of how it can be used as "a useful, self-reflective tool, allowing one to see sides of them-self that they never realized the full importance of." The author also goes on to give great advice as when it comes to sharing the personal life of yourself, you need to be aware of the community that it is being sent out to and expect to have some good comments and some bad comments to come back at you. However, in today's world, you will get that everywhere you go.
Overall, the book was very informative and well written, giving insight on the history of blogging, how its advanced and is one of the many factors that have shaped the internet from a global perspective.
