Blogging

I find this means of informal yet anonymous communication fascinating. It is such a short time since the internet materialised into being and here we are potentially communicating to a global community who might just happen to log in to this site. Interactive media at its best?

Note my writing retains a relative formality. I am still governed by the social constructs, in spite of the lack of known audience. I have relayed this site address to only a very few people and fail to see how this medium actually becomes more than a sort of potentially public email. When I first learned how to fast text on my mobile, I sent ridiculous texts to friends and relatives. Gradually I learned that I was being boring and wasting time and money, but at the time, I felt a great joy at being able to so easily communicate with the people I loved. Needless to say, they humoured me if they replied. Is this just another of those mediums? And why do I seem to want to communicate with those afore mentioned and not they?
