First Post

As far as writing electronically, I'd say i have a decent amount of experience. I contribute to several sports blogs on the internet, I have a twitter account with which I keep in touch with friends and family with and the same goes for e-mailing. Going as far back as in middle school I have been contributing writing to the internet through e-mail, IM's and forums, so I'd say I've become well versed with electronic writing.

When writing through an electronic media as opposed to a pen and paper, I find it to be much easier to express what you're trying to say. I can express my thoughts and ideas more freely as well. I think when using an electronic medium for writing, you get more confident in what you are trying to say as opposed to writing with a pen and paper or explaining yourself to someone. In some instances, there would be things that I would normally never say to someone, but when writing online, I have no qualms about saying that certain thing, whether it is positive or negative. That being said, being able to express yourself so freely isn’t always a good thing as you could probably post something that would either make you look bad or someone else look bad.

One last thing about writing online is that your grammar and such may not be as good. For example, I know when commenting on something someone wrote or writing something myself, I often use acronyms to save time.
