Blog

Such an issue is being made of bloggers and our capabilities as writers and the pull we have on the world's literature and blahblahblah. So it was interesting to read an article about how bloggers butchered their opportunity at the Democratic National Convention.

I have said, and will still say, that bloggers read bloggers who read bloggers, ad infinitum. My blogging friends are all within a Six Degrees of Separation type of circle. Links are put up and followed and re-linked and followed. The circle of people I know is obviously much different than the circle of people who went to the DNC. Or the people who will probably be attending the RNC. We're all mostly former diarylanders or former livejournalers. We're mostly twenty-somethings, most of us are married. At the same time, now that I think about it, we're all pretty different. We're from all of the time zones in America, probably. We're Republicans and Democrats. We like country music and Brit Pop and Sanrio and TWoP.

We all at least know of each other. And we wouldn't without our common denominator of blogging. We wouldn't care who the other was, BFFs would remain anonymous to each other, probably only being recognized by first names or initials if we weren't all pouring some part of our lives into the Wide World of Blogging.

So you'll have to pardon the world, I guess, if they don't stand up and take notice, y'all. Even if you are at the DNC.
