Abstract

Confessional blogs and diaries tend to be associated because they have similar content - both narrate thoughts and daily actions. Sometimes confessional blogs are viewed as diaries that migrated to the computer screen (online diaries). But some people delink confessional blogs to the diarism history and consider them as a new practice. In this article we will analyze the differences and similarities between confessional blogs and diaries.
