Non-Social Blogging: There was a couple of contrasting articles on the net this week that said that either blogging was on the rise, or it was about to die. It made me think about this space (which is certainly not MySpace). The deal with MySpace, as I understand it, is to get as many "friends" to subscribe to their site. It seems to me that this is a terrific technological tool, for those with a pathetic self esteem. Hey look, I have more friends than you, and I can show you. But, in my way of thinking, if I don't reveal who reads my blog then I don't necessarily have anything to prove. Some might read this and say "sure you say that, you don't have any friends". Maybe, maybe not. I am content with what I know. I have gotten a fair amount of ego stroking from my rankings on CoolPhotoBlogs and am now in the top 20%. My goal will be to make it to the top 10% and that will be the end of it.
