I first tried out blogging in 2009 with an amatuar, “teenage” diary style account on blogger. However one post on there is worth a read so I’m sharing it on my more mature wordpress blog. Enjoy.
Oh the joys of social networking.
For some people it’s a fun way of communication.
For others its a study of human behaviour.
Others, it’s a passion of some sort to share and expand their views.
For me?
Social networking fasinates me. I find myself hooked by the bug to get more followers, more views, more friends. Then I think.. why do I want people reading stuff about me? Why do I want to be telling them?
Facebook. I keep for my private social communication. My only facebook friends are friends I have in the “real world”.
Twitter. A public place of expression and sharing without delving into detail. Followers are automatically accepted. Tweets are viewed by everyone and anyone that wishes to. And word limit is in place to prevent flooding, ranting etc.
Blogger(my previous, first blog). Is this my personal journal? My online diary to save carrying a book form? Or it is something I wish for people to see? As it stands I have no followers on blogger. Therefore blogger remains private. But if people were to follow me? I think I’d allow them to see.
Where has the desire and need for privacy in human kind gone? Has it gone?
Is the world becoming a place where every detail, comment and expression is shared for others to see?
