Is a blog a third-place?

I think that this blog could act as a third-place for some. For myself, and I believe for others as well, it is much more in the comfort zone to write about their ideas and beliefs than to voice them out loud. Furthermore, this blog has a lot of the characteristics that make a third-place a third-place. For instance, this blog has a neutral ground, has regulars, conversation is not only the main, but the only activity, and it is easily accessible (at least to our class though many could argue that having access to the internet is not necessarily easy). However, even though the mood so far has been playful, but it may not always be depending on the topic of conversation and I don't think many people will think of this blog as a "home away from home."
