Joshi Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Aren't diaries completely different from blogs (for the most part)? A blog is a place where you tell people what you're up to, how you're feeling and your dreams and plans. Whereas, a diary is something that can burn easily.

Samnmax221 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Either way, keeping you personal thoughts in your head where no one will find them is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 "Blog" is a very widely used term, and it's often misinterpreted as meaning the same thing as "diary/journal". While there are endless personal blogs, just as many focus on specific themes and have nothing at all to do with a certain individual other than their opinion, and sometimes dozens of people work on the same blog. Some quick examples are Joystiq and Kotaku, both of which are on networks with loads of other themed blogs. Then of course there's my own blog (link in signature) where I don't think I've ever made a post about myself. It tends to be the themed blogs that become successful, since nobody's really that interested in random blokes/girls unless they're particularly notable. It's best to just think of blogs as "a place to convey thoughts". Whether they're about you or a popular subject many can relate to is a whole different story.

Fealiks Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I think it should be pointed out that "Blog" = "WebLog" for the slow among us (apart from me). I still think it should be " 'blog " rather than " Blog " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually a lot of the reasons Thrik pointed out about why themed blogs work a lot better than personal ones are basically the same reasons I don't myself have a blog, I have nothing interesting to talk about and I don't know 5 people who'd want to listen to me talk about myself. Blog has been adopted as a generic internet term now in the same way n00b has. Whilst it does originate from the word (or words) weblog, I think we're stuck with Blog now.

Fealiks Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Did anyone think of something up your nose upon first hearing "blog"? Yeah, me neither.... Edit: I know this is irrelevant, but Ave, you have close to 10,000 posts and you've only been here about 11 months?! Edit2:26 posts a day? I feel so... so used.

Samnmax221 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 oh there is a "losers table" generally people tend to exile themselves there after one to many jokes is made about their dirty whore girlfriend and how she can't get enough of your dads friends.

DarthAve Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 The losers table, I just say that for the equivilant of stooping really low. I mean, there's not such a thing in today's socity as a losers table (Everyone's labeled somthing. Preps, asians, emos. that whole thing that bugs the crap outta me.) But if you sit at the losers table, I'd be all "OH NOZ!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthAve Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 no america isn't weird. every school is like what you see in mean girls, sadly =\ and no i'm not exaggerating. Not my school. We sometimes have mix-it-up day where everyone from different social groups awkwardly eats lunch together in silence. And also the preps don't rule out school, I do! kinda, I mean, I'm popular in the sence that everyone knows who I am. Either from being Bodhi's cousin, that crazy girl, the chick who sings good, ect.

Joshi Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Well, in Britain, we simply have groups of friends who weren't anything special. I tended to migrate from group to group, never staying in one long enough to actually become one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
