My daughter has been blogging for a while, privately. But, we have just recently allowed her to blog out in the open (ie not password protected and included in search results). Today she got her first reader/commenter that was not a member of her family.
Remember when one reader made you feel this way? I do, and it was the coolest feeling. It’s the same feeling I get when I look at my subscriber number and it’s climbing.
It’s so nice to see that my daughter is a big blog nerd too! Incidentally, isn’t it cool the way tweens play around with fonts and font sizes in email messages? I wish I had the time…
You should stop her from blogging, because this good feeling is just creating addiction, and she will become an internet zombi.
New kinds of communities emerged, but the experience becomed individual, even solitary. The sense of community felt real, but it was virtual.
Oops, too late. She’s already an internet zombie 😉
