Thought of the Day #2 -- "Following Blogs"

When did following blogs become the norm?

Are we so attached to our technology that we forgot how to sit down and have a cuppa with the neighbor or our best mate?

Yeah, I am thinking of this because I realized all my best mates are overseas and in another time zone. (This is certainly not to discount any new friends I have made while here in Oz, but the people in the USA have known me better for longer).

So really then, what is the etiquette for following a blog, and who makes up this rule anyway?

I'd like to invite your discussions below, please feel free to comment and share your views, this isn't a q&A session, but rather a way to visit over a cuppa without being in the same room.

:-)

And besides, I have no desire to spend all my time showing off creative witticisms, I'd rather spend my time enjoying my family and friends.

Only one follower???

Ok, I know I am dull and dry and I have no flavor to my posts... (this is your cue to all chime in and let me know you love reading what I have to say, yes I need an ego boost just now) ...but really, I've been in OZ since April 1 (quite a bizarre turn of events that I arrived in the land down under on April fools day - please no comment from the peanut gallery on what this might mean for my future) and I only have one, count them "one", follower of my blog to show for it. You know how disheartening that is?

Then I realized, I only have a very few friends (roughly 200) and most of them are in facebook... who has time for blogs?

So hey, if you want me to blog more often, give me a shout out so I know you are there!!!
