Do you read people's blogs/journals?

Question

If yes, do you do so anonymously or do you leave comments?

If you don't read blogs, why?

Answer 1

I read, keep up with a gand whopping total of ONE web log. I do leave comments there when I can (Blogspot has a habit of being glitchy that way).

But as for the rest....no. I just have no deep, burning interest in most of what's out there. The only reason I keep up with the *one* that I do is because a) she's a good friend, and b) it's about a fairly rare and obscure interest online. As in, it's my way to keep up-to-date with my community of others online who also share this rare, obscure interest with me.

And the rest. Nope. I tried doing a web log thing myself and just didn't care for it. The motivation to keep it going, in the total absence of feedback (because I couldn't get the HTML or linkages to comments figured out) just wasn't there.

It was like the sound of one hand clapping for me, so I gave it up fairly quickly. And now....Yahoo with it's 360 Weblog/Profiles are really starting to annoy me over this. I *suck* at blogging, all right? I *do not* want to turn my Yahoo Profile (the main one, not the one here on Answers) into a damned weblog. So why should I *have to* do this for the almightly privilege of *seeing the profiles* of my Friends online?

It sucks is what it does. ^_^ But I digressed, sorry, didn't mean to rant there.

Point is...my interest in blogging, with the one, single exception, is nearly non-existent. As in, I could really *care less* about Yahoo 360 *or* 99.9999% of the web logs out there. It's just a lot of work and really no feedback unless you absolutely know what you are doing. And I'm a feedback junkie. ^_^

Hope this helps...thanks for your time! ^_^

Answer 2

I go to Google blogs and type in a topic I'm interested about and read what people have to say. I only lurk, I never usually comment.
