Dear Diary

I'm increasingly finding myself reading more and more people's blogs. At first there were one or two that I checked and now that list is growing and growing. It's odd because I wouldn't dream of reading someone's diary, so why their blogs? I justified starting and reading blogs because there was a lot of fuss in the media about how "people's news" might one day replace the actual news, and wanted to see what the competition was. I think though in all honesty I'm just incredibly nosey, plus I like to know what people think about things. Of course the styles change - from those who enjoy an angry rant to those who write as though they are a teenager and feel that every small detail of their life should be documented, right down to what plate they used to eat their dinner off. I like it though, I think blogs make up a nice part of this rich internet tapestry.
