Who reads blogs???

**donblay** · 02-08-2005, 10:33 AM

I just started getting back into blogging. i set up a blog a while ago, then kinda forgot about it. i think it might be a fun thing for me to do, but i was wondering....who reads other people's blogs. as i write stuff, i kinda wonder who i'm writting for....does anyone read this, and if so who? i think my eyes will be the only ones to fall on these words.
I know i've started to read other poeple's blogs before...but quickly got bored. i was just wondering if there were some out there who actaully like reading blogs?
anyone?

btw, mine is at http://donblay.blogspot.com/

I have a blog. Personal thoughts, ideas, rants.... that kind of thing. Going through some super rough times and it helps to jot it all down. I dont think anyone reads it.... I dont give out the address. Not ready to share it yet

I blog often on TA, I perfer picture blog sites as opposed to plain text journaling sites.

**jh101_7** · 02-09-2005, 08:35 AM

eh, personally, i could care less about blogging
...my friends and family know what's going on, and that's sufficient
..."the whole internet" doesn't need to know

yeah, i tend to agree that those can be more interesting, i'll browse through though sometimes
i actually got one of those too.... http://www.donblay.textamerica.com/ you notice that TA supports video clips now!

A word about the downside of blogs: News.com has an article about a Google employee who blogged mild criticisms of his employer who has lost his job.

Dreamsiren007 - There is a link in this article to a previous one about a Delta flight attendant who lost her job due to her blog....for having a pic of herself in uniform. Nothing outageous....

Yep, I post a few videos there sometimes. Just havent figured out how to get Quick time to produce the best replay quality on TA. It's nice finding a good one on the sites though.
