Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will be blogging in the coming days or weeks. Unlike Indonesian President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY)’s “blog” which is no more than a compilation of news about and speeches addressed by him, Chavez promises he’ll be blogging daily with his very own ‘pen’. Neither assistant nor webmaster will be used for this purpose.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez–who a week ago mentioned possibly regulating the Internet–said Sunday he’s making plans to start his own blog.
Speaking of President SBY, I think it’ll be nice if he’s blogging with his own ‘pen’ both with Bahasa Indonesia and English alike as he is well-versed in both languages. Imagine if he’s blogging daily and visited by at least 20 million Indonesian internet users. For AdSense publishers, imagine how much bucks he would earn in a month?

“I’m going to have my own battle trench on the Internet,” Chavez said during his Sunday live talk show, “Hello, Presidente.”
He said a computer is being set up in a room of the presidential palace of Miraflores–and from it he would directly inform the public on who he is meeting with, what legislation he’s signing, and other presidential matters.
“I’ll be communicating with millions, and not just in Venezuela, but the whole world,” Chavez said, who didn’t provide any possible start-up dates for the blog.
Chavez said he also would use the blog to respond to comments and questions from readers, both supporters as well as those opposed to him. “It’s going to be a battle, indeed,” Chavez said.
The president’s blogging plans come a week after he created a firestorm by suggesting that lawmakers may need to begin to corral the Internet, which the opposition often uses to organize rallies against him.
the power of blogs is very strong, if we take advantage of the benefits of good, very big influence in changing world

There are many presidents in the world starting their blogs. They have their own purposes through their blogging activities. And people can also have their own opinions about the presidents’ blogs.
Blogging activities can be used for many purposes. Bloggers can determine what their blogging are for. Keep on writing through blogging activities. Be successful for all of us.
