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.
