Links: Personal Blogging for All to See
Posted by Steven Wu on Saturday, May 17 @ 13:21:50 EDT News
The New York Times has an amusing article entitled "Dating a Blogger, Reading All About It," discussing the the rise of increasingly indiscreet personal blogs online, and the effects they are having on relationships offline.
While personal blogs have been around for years, their proliferation has caused a wrinkle in the social fabric among people in their teens, 20's and early 30's. Inundated with bloggers, they are finding that every clique now has its own Matt Drudge, someone capable of instantly turning details of their lives into saucy Internet fare.

....

In the rush to publish, many bloggers are running headlong into some of the problems conventionally published memoirists know too well: hurt feelings, newly wary friends and relatives, and the occasional inflamed employer.
The article unfortunately fails to mention that there are a lot more blogs out there than just the personal ones; and it also unfortunately suggests that the most important reason people put up personal blogs is narcisissism (thought that may be true).
