I started blogging because a friend of mine started, and it seemed like an interesting thing to do. I didn’t really expect it to take too long for me to get bored and let it drop.
It’s taking longer than I thought though…..
What I have realized is that blogging is a way of staying in touch, and I’m beginning to think that it does have some advantages over e-mail.
When I write someone an e-mail, I hope for a reply. The recipient feels obliged to send a reply, and when he does, I feel obliged to reply to his/her e-mail and so it goes on…
When I write a blog, I don’t expect a reply, but I am contacting people who know me and who read the blog. I know that when I read a friends blog’s it’s almost like receiving an e-mail, but with no obligations. Of course if something in the blog raises a question or comment, I am still free to send an e-mail or call them (preferable), just as they are.
So there you have it, I will probably be blogging for a little longer than I thought….
