Why Blog?
22 July 2008, by Shashikiran
Blog is an abbreviation for “web log” and basically stands for a website where individuals write their personal views. It’s like an open diary or journal of our experiences. However, many companies and organizations also have their own blogs. The ability to write your own views and observations and publish it on the web for everyone to view and comment on is amazing and truly powerful.
Sharing of experiences is no longer limited by geography or personal acquaintance. I do not even know where you are from, who you are, but you are reading what I have written here! What I write here is not controlled by anybody, except myself. No editorial restrictions and rules. Simple freedom and power to share. And thus added responsibility too.
Writing here is a great stimulation for me to read, experiment, think and also organize and reflect on my thoughts. I also hope to learn from what others say (comment) after reading the posts.
On this blog, you will see frequent posts on my views, observations and experiences with the practice of medicine, medical teaching and the interaction of medicine and technology. Comments and counter viewpoints are most welcome.
