Blurkers

I don't flatter myself. I don't think that I have any blurkers, or any regular ones at that. If I do, I'd love to hear from you and check out your blog as well. After all, if you like mine, I'd probably vibe with yours.

I myself am a confirmed blurker. Although I would welcome comments from strangers on my posts (hopefully positive) I don't feel that I would make someone's day by leaving one of my own. I know, I have self-esteem issues, but hey, who in this world doesn't? I have left comments a couple of times, but don't feel called to make "shout-outs" to every page I visit. And I don't leave anonymous comments. I let them know who I am.

I think the "blurking" term is ridiculous. A blog is just a web page posted on the internet for people to read. And when people do read them, it's considered lurking? The author is upset/surprised? That's just effed up. If you don't want someone reading your page, make it private. Otherwise you need to assume that everyone you know and don't know are reading it. Don't want the world to know something? Easy, don't post it.

This blog is for me. If someone likes to read it and it becomes a discussion board, I'd be happy with that. Meet cyberfriends? Gain cyberenemies? Hope not on the second one, but still, welcome one and all. Read, comment if you want to. Let me know if you think I rock out or am a total piece of crap. It'll break up the tedium of my day, which really, for me, is what this blog is all about.
