Has online blogging liberated you?

As the volume of tweets, posts and blogging increases & social media and online interaction thrives, it may be pertinent to ask the question whether fresh-faced virgin bloggers actually feel more liberated online.

It cannot be disputed that blogging or delivering pithy online posts is far more uncomplicated and perhaps more comfortable than establishing real-life relationships.

For many, meeting new & old contacts face to face, setting up 1-2-1’s or joining actual networking groups can be so much more daunting than simply blogging, emailing and responding from the privacy and anonymity of your desk, office, back bedroom or garden shed…

However, I did recently read a well-received article that suggested that contrary to most thinking, the more prolific bloggers were also the ones that were the most industrious real-time networkers..

So, may I ask you for your thoughts…

Has your blogging & postings whether on your own personal blogs, websites and elsewhere, led to more networking and personal, social & business interaction or simply liberated you, behind a veneer of privacy & perceived anonymity, to post & offer comment to a variety of stories and interests where you would not normally dare to venture in your ‘real world’?

Comments would be appreciated.
