blog on blogs

     Blogs are a diverse source of output – a blog may be known to the world or, as so many are, unknown to the billions of internet patrons. This idea-isolation is the same as a diary. Both are hidden. Both are read. Both are secret. Both are ways that can lead to fame. And both are ways that can lead to infamy. It is by these ideas that so many have come to tell about their inter-personal life to a potentially massive audience. The chance of fame is entitled to starting many blogs but perhaps a need for an outlet drives people to publish their personal thoughts online. In the past, paper bound diaries have held these ideas, cornering themselves into the nightstand drawer. Likewise, as the analogy expands, the common writers of the world have put their confidential ideas into a new drawer only this one can hold trillions of other diaries. Humanity has been able to find the darkened corners of the algorithmic space of the online to hide their intimate secrets. A place where, like the nightstand, any small child will be able to read about that one guy who was wearing like you know, that cute navy blue cardigan and stuff and like was so staring at you and stuff. Yes, humans have sure come far from the old days. As it has been sung “the times they are a changin.”
