Hey, aren't blogs just personal message boards without all the bantering back and forth? ;) Unless you have mental issues and argue with yourself. hmmmmm...

Here's mine! (Sorry no naked pictures!! lol ) http://www.myspace.com/40909299

Lately I've been reading Wide Lawns and Narrow Minds. It's pretty amusing.

If blogs are mundane, they're not doing it correctly.

:blush:

Maybe it's just my lack of time that's the downfall. Seems every blog I've tried to read is full of references to past postings, so I start backtracking, just so I can find out where they work or whatever, and that's when the bordom sets in.

If we're talking about blogs that are commentary or comedy as oppposed to life stories, it's a whole 'nother thang. I check up on thesneeze.com every now and then because it can be pretty funny, and you don't need to know the past postings. Plus, even if you do dive into the archive (which I have) the posts are brief and easy to read and leave.

BTW, I don't wish to offend anyone here who blogs - I used to read LJs but found I couldn't keep up with all my far-flung friends and fell into the same pitfalls - "who were they dating again?" I also know people who post all kinds of things there that I feel are way too personal, things I feel guilty for reading even though they posted publicly.

I tried LJing myself but found that anything I wanted to put there was too personal for me to click "public". Everything else I post on the LoT. Add in my limited online time and my LJ presence has shrunk to nothing.

LoT is a form a blogging and I don't find it mundane at all.

Blogging is a newer form of posting things online, another step in the evolution of the net. Message boards far predate blogging. (Wikipedia backs me up, if you want to discuss semantics ;) ) I don't get what you mean by this - Did you really think I meant that I think the LoT is mundane? :confused:

In the end it's pretty simple. I (obviously) really enjoy posting on a public message board. Blogging isn't my thing, I've tried it. At least for now; I can't promise I won't start blogging in 20 years or so. Each to his own :)

I'm somewhat in between. If someone posts to their LJ something like, "I went grocery shopping today and bought blah blah blah. Then I went home and did blah and then watched blah..." I couldn't care less. I just scroll past. I find that the majority of my LJ's friends posts are meaningful updates or amusing/sad/unique happenings that I quite enjoy reading about. I rarely post to LJ because I rarely have anything terribly interesting to post. You can make posts friends only though. I quite miss reading yours CP. :)

this just in
