No, not those Friends. Back in August 2006, I was in the midst of one of my blog block sessions, which I go through every few weeks. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who goes through this.
I don't know about anyone else, but I've always found it challenging to keep in touch with the friends that I have around here (I'll call them my non-blog friends). It has always been difficult to get our schedules to match up.
But, having blog friends means that you can keep in touch pretty much anytime. Contrasting these two types of friends fascinated me. And, naturally, I blogged about it on August 23, 2006....
In this day and age where electronic communication is more common and more convenient than in-person communication, do I have communication more with my blog friends or my non-blog friends? Now, the people at work don't count, at least for me, because all of you know how much I work (too much).Little did I know how much discussion it would generate. There are currently over fifty comments over there. I guess people really like talking about their friends. And, who can blame them?This entertains an interesting question: When it comes to citizens of the blogosphere, do people have more blog friends or non-blog friends? For me, I've come to find out that it's the former -- not that it's a bad thing, but an interesting realization. How about you? Do you have more blog friends or non-blog friends? Do you care? Does it bother you one way or another?
It's hard to believe that almost a year has passed since that time. But, I still remember those thoughts like it was yesterday. I'm going to reflect on other posts in the next week during the countdown to my blogiversary. Hope you enjoy this series, because I know I am!
