The Drawbacks of Blogging - The Same Title as Everyone Else

Blogging may be one way to go for some people who are better at communicating through text than they are communicating in person (like me), but it has its problems and downsides.

For one thing, Blogger doesn't seem to be quite nearly as popular as other social networking sites, like Facebook and Twitter, so if you're looking for lots of people to talk to, you probably won't find it here.
Unless you can round up a decent-sized group of people and then make very well-written posts to attract attention... but not everyone can do that.

A potential problem could be having to donate so much time to it. It took a while just to read the posts of twenty different people; I can only imagine and tremble in fear of what it must be like to have 50+ followers that respond often...

Another problem for certain types of people: Blogger isn't the best for procrastinators (especially not procrastinators who were having virus problems). If someone would want feedback immediately, or if you make a blog that gets pretty well-known... You'd have to be pretty responsible and determined to keep people satisfied. Otherwise, you'd probably get left alone eventually.

Another issue going off of that one: It feels disappointing when nobody notices your post. Even if it's pretty much your own fault for being a procrastinator. I suppose no feedback is probably better than unjustified negative feedback, but it's still... lonely feeling, even though the purpose of the site is to socialize.

Finally... those anti-spam codes that you have to type every time you want to comment.... UGH!! They held me up for at least three minutes almost every time! Why are some of those things so illegible?! This particular drawback may not have much to do with the purpose of Blogging, but... it's definitely a drawback of Blogger if the process of leaving a comment turns into a  massive test of patience and ability to translate hieroglyphs... every time you want to comment on a post that has anti-spam... I think this could literally induce frustration in the middle of decent discussion just because it's so annoying.

So there's at least five drawbacks!
