To blog or not to blog
Laura M. | Oct 28 2005
Every time I see the "Hacer" title I feel compelled to do something, whatever, to fill it in. Very Gestaltic. Anyway, my question is, do you blog? Don't you think blogging takes away a lot of the time you could be using more productively in other things? Do you ever worry about who will read your blog? Does a blog no one reads exists? I remember once reading that example for personal websites. If no one reads your blog, does your ego will take it badly? ;) In my usual slow way of reacting, I've been thinking about the utility of having a blog when I can just pester people around with my comments on their blogs or on boards. 11 Comments

I know what you mean! Enthusiasm then burnout ;) Had several abandoned Livejournals, always started with good intentions...and unfortunately the net is very good at keeping a record of our dilettantism... I admit I feel obliged to post sometimes. Which is a bit odd - it's not productive, it's not required, and I don't really consider the blog as part of my real life. Guess it's similar the situation another poster described on the board - feeling obliged to pursue hobbies even though they're supposed to be just that. » POSTED IN:
