Defines and tells you what size underwear they wear are two different things

It defines nothing aside from the fact that they're self-important and shallow sinkholes of life. Keep a diary, that's fine. You're supposed to keep such things for reflection later in life, not for some bullshit attention whoring fantasy where you think people give a crap about your every waking thought, the song you're currently listening to, and the fact that somebody looked at you funny during the course of your day.

They should just change the name from blogging to narcississing. goddamn.

I have a blog but I rarely write anything in it and pretty much no one reads it.

So writing things to reflecton on later with a piece of paper and pencil somehow makes you better than someone who records the same data for the same purpose with 1's and 0's?

Sorry let me clarify for those who have an IQ less than 2. I thought it was inherent to the definition of the word, but apparently in Alabama (inbred) they don't teach you such things. I meant that when you keep a diary, it is for your own personal and private use. It is not on public display.

I have an idea. If you don't like them, don't read them. Problem solved. Also, please find it in your heart to STFU.

One of the things I like about having a website is that it's non-intrusive. When I babble about something on here, I'm entering your space or shared public space to do it and, while you have the choice to skip over it, it wasn't up to you to decide beforehand that you were interested in what I have to say. On my own website, a reader has to take a positive step to choose to read it, rather than it being thrust in front of him.

Narcississing wouldn't be a good synonym for blogging; for starters, a lot of us would be better described as exhibitionists.

Blogs serve a lot of purposes. I started doing it in part as an exercise to keep myself writing so I'd at least do some original composition, inamongst the sheer amount of time I spend cleaning up other people's writing (many of whom can't quite grasp concepts like spelling, punctuation, correct word usage, the value of having complete sentences, etc.). I get frustrated when the time spent fixing things for everybody else crowds out my doing anything original, even if it's something as utterly trivial as a blog entry.

It's no surprise that it's a way to keep in touch with friends and family. Sure, you could send out an email newsletter, but that gets into the whole intrusiveness thing again. It's also limited to who's on that list. Put it up on the web and people out there you might not have heard from in years who find themselves wondering, "I wonder what so-and-so is up to" can find out.

Then you get to the mysterious issue of what to make of the people you've never met out there who become regular readers. It's hard to gauge just how many there are and who knows what they're thinking or why they do it. I say it's hard to gauge because when readers come straight in, they might have you bookmarked, or they might be coming from a search engine in a way that's not making it into the referral field. But when someone comes straight to my index page and then immediately hits the link for the blog without taking the time to read or look at it, they're probably regular--or at least occasional--readers. I'm certainly not the most interesting person around, but I still see people doing that a few times per hour.

This kind of remote participation in someone else's daily life would make great fodder for a sociology paper; why do people start reading about someone's daily life and how do they view their "relationship" with that person?

 

I keep a weblog and I will be the first to admit it's 99% pure bullsh*t. I don't care if anyone reads it and I certainly won't read anyone's who I don't know personally. I have five or six friends in my weblog community and we read each other's daily and comment back and forth. It's better than talking IMHO.

Still, most people on Xanga and Live Journal are just attention whores desperately crying out for someone to notice them.

I keep a blog, too -- but I don't keep my intimate thoughts on it; I have a real journal (book) for that 🙂

Most of the stuff on my online journal is silly (but true) stuff anyway, so if someone reads it, or not, I don't care. I got it outta my system. 😛

i write to mine... its usually random new dvds i bought, stuff i have purchased, or am contemplating to purchase...

There is a root issue of accountability. Previous to blogging (and the internet in general) an exhibitionist would have been physically present and answerable. The internet provides a level of anonymity regardless of whether the person provides their phone number, address and picture, they can still develop an online persona.

The issue I have with many bloggers is that they are not a sincere form of self-expression. I have no interest in egocentric posturing. Without a doubt there are exceptions, but they are rare.
