Blogthoughts

Things I've noticed as I've cyber-connected with friends recently:

When people don't blog for a long time, it often (not always) indicates something is going on in their lives. Too busy. Depressed. Changing.

You can learn a lot about a person by what they blog about. Some people blog about what really is going on in their lives. Some use it as a fantasy land to talk about particular subjects while avoiding major things going on in their lives.

Some people only talk about themselves. Others never bring themselves up.

Some have an agenda. Some have no purpose at all.

Some blog when they go through a crisis, or when they have an axe to grind, or when they are feeling strong emotions.

Some blog several times a day.

Some blog entries have eloquent, almost poetic formats. Other entries end abruptly.
