Next blog

When is someone a friend? I ask this because I find myself about to say "a friend of mine," but I really don't have traditional friends in that I don't go out and meet with people or have people over the house, ever.

Anyways, I know someone from my days working at a certain place, and I still keep in touch through Email, LinkedIn and Facebook. She has a blog here, and I recall her saying on FB or Twitter that one of her guilty pleasures was hitting the "next blog" button.

I had never done such. I only worried about myself, so I was bit surprised by the number of "dead" blogs that are "next" to mine when doing the feature. Sometimes I come across one that was updated within the month but the author has written in a language I am forced to rely upon a translation site.

Regardless, I find myself reflecting upon my days of using Diaryland. I followed people and people followed me. No pictures or names were ever shared, and I find myself missing that anonymity.
