It is so completely unlike the blogging described in that article that I think they should be called different things!<BR/><BR/>Tracie -- I know what you mean about thinking you might have used a blog in a similar way, but the thing that amazed me about her story was how she never learned what a bad idea it was to "overshare" and she still clearly hasn't figured that out. I do cringe when I go back and read my high school or college journals, but I'm fairly certain no one but me has ever read them. <BR/><BR/>Luckily we've grown into mature women and model mothers :-).ZoesMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13279493011192565601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677849.post-5456956301438499252008-05-27T16:43:00.000-04:002008-05-27T16:43:00.000-04:00I read that article late Friday night, and was at ...I read that article late Friday night, and was at first enraged by this girl's immaturity. Then my age caught up to me, and I realized I might have been this girl, if I had a blog-like platform to broadcast my life on way back in the day.<BR/><BR/>Nowadays, I write knowing that a potential client might be reading my blog. That, and I know for a fact that Ashlee (and some of her friends) read it. Anything that she shouldn't be reading, I shouldn't be blogging about (I do lots of "editing" too). <BR/><BR/>You know how sometimes, if you go back in a journal and you just cringe: "what was I thinking??!" It's nice to have that moment to yourself, and not have to share it with millions of readers.tracie valentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300382883320464966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677849.post-56245453056540101252008-05-26T18:15:00.000-04:002008-05-26T18:15:00.000-04:00Hmmm...do you think that one day The NYT will actu...Hmmm...do you think that one day The NYT will actually have an article about blogs/blogging that's positive? Somehow, I doubt it...Like you, I didn't see myself or the reasons I blog in this at all. I do, however, feel so lucky whenever I read these sorts of articles that I seem somehow to have found the corner of the blogosphere where people seem to be experimenting and honing their craft more than yelling "PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" Thus, I'm hanging out with mature, kind, thoughtful people who know the definition of the word "boundary." Oh, and they're laugh-out-loud funny. They just know how to be so without being cruel.Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.com
