I believe it has something to do with The False Sense of Individual Entitlement ™, vying with the Anonymous Masses Yearning to Be Acknowledged, multiplied by the I Am a Unique and Beautiful Snowflake Theory, finally squared by the Seeking a Mundane Application for Worldwide Connectivity quandary.

I don't read blogs anymore; I occasionally check out Neil Gaiman's web journal, because it's thoughtful and entertaining. I used to keep up with William Gibson. That's about it. The rest of my friends, when they're telling me about their blogs or LJ exploits, I just smile and nod and say, "Why don't we meet for coffee and you can tell me all about it?"
This provokes stares of oddity, although most take me up for it. Imagine - two 21st-century individuals sitting down *in person* and talking about things best not shared in virtual space! It boggles the mind, I tell you, it boggles it to no end ...
Ssssss, human interaction, it burnsss ussss ...
:lol:
