Looking at blogs

Maybe I was a bit harsh. Maybe people blog because they are just searching for someone to hear them. We are told that the world is getting smaller, and we feel and see it as the digital age pulls the drawstrings of the world tightly into small bags. And yet, with all the claustrophobia we expect to feel, we still feel very much alone in the world. However easy communication and travel may be, the problem of figuring out who we are and what we are supposed to do with it is still tremendously difficult. Perhaps blogging is a way of screaming into the wind, throwing ourselves into the melee of voices hoping that someone will hear and understand us.

And willing to prostitute ourselves to do it.
