i can't consider myself as an absolute blogger. for those that read my blog would agree with me that i hardly blog, perhaps 5 to 10 entries a year will be the average for me.
however, i'm a regular blogs reader. not so much on reading about every details of the blogger life that i'm reading about, but i'm more interested in knowing their thoughts, or their views, or, mainly catching up with their world.
but yet, i found out that, most bloggers mainly blog the very details of their life, like what they wake up in the morning, what time they sleep, what they have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and evevery details they do in between from the second they awake to the second the sleep. details that personally,i would have thought, would be my private life, but not life that i want to share on the internet, or share on a blog. or, in other case, bloggers simply pace their daily tweets and statuses from tweeter and facebook to their blog... which i would have think that, people who follow them on either facebook and tweeter, in most case will be the same people on their blogs anyway, and if people don't follow them on either one of those two, not necessary wanting to know about ewhat they do in every minute of the world, but reading something more interesting, more deep, or something that is beyond that...
what sort of blogs that you will blog if you are a blogger, and what sort of blogs that you likes to read, as a reader?

I like reading blogs that discuss new independent music, psychology, experiments, short fiction, etc. I have a large collection of some of my favorite blog sites which I read frequently so as to saty in the know.
I would blog, but I simply do not have the time. I would write about whatever is going on in the world, not necessarily about my own personal life, though I would probably make broad connections to how said event is influencing my life if at all.
blogging seems like a lot of fun, and some blogs are great reads. It just happens that some bloggers feel that they must discuss their entire life, from morning to evening, with their readers. Unbeknownst to them, the majority of readers don't give a shit.

I have an lj; I talk about my views on things, my life, take surveys sometimes, and post interesting articles I find. however, I'm told it isn't boring, so if you're interested, feel free to tell me and I might exchange my info with you since my lj is friends only.

agree on both, in particular poster 2. as i said in early of this topic, i'm quite a regular blog reader, but i can't care more on what going on from the second one gets up till the second they go to bed, or, how many time they go to toilet when they can't sleep etc etc.
i like to read inspiration and reflection blogs, blogs that will let me think and discover my inner self further, or new things. i feel that for someone to read about my personal private life is clearly step against the boundry of my private space.

when i was a kid, i went through a mercifully brief period of keeping a journal. to say the least, the best part about it was the small amount of space it took up. Oh yes reading it today is extremely amusing. The sincere cliches and original thoughts held by every teen in that period of history make me cringe and reach for the antacids. i thought I was the first and the best and the most original. Now, as a jaded old hag, I look back and shake my head.!!!!
I look at blogs that interest me. Most have to do with the shows I like and with my family and friends lives.
Next week, I will be going to oregon to get a dog. Friends are begging me to journal the experience. Why they would be interested in this is wa'a'a'ay beyond me. I mean who cares that it rained like hell and we ate oatmeal for breakfast. I'd rather experience the event instead of taking the time for deep profundities and maunderings about the class experience.

Agree with Turricane about teenage journals! After carrying 10 notebooks of brl around for 15 years or so, I junked the lot. I now regret it, a bit, as i'm trying to write a story with an adolescent character, and some of that rubbish might come in handy! The period details are interesting, at least. In mine, I remember, once I described a shopping trip from 1985, complete with prices quoted. I did occasionally make mention of events in the news, which was amazing to me, reading it later, because I typically didn't pay attention to anything outside of my own life.
So if anyone wishes to donate... *grin* My character lives in the 1980s, but 70s material would be good for family background purposes.
I don't often read blogs. I don't care; I don't know these people! If I do, it's a reader's blog, with useful book reviews and such.

Well I'm a geek so read technology blogs. I'm a bird enthusiast so read birding blogs when I can find good ones that do more than just politics. I am, for example, interested in someone I follow on Twitter who tweets his bird sightings from the area in which he lives; his tweets are quite descriptive visually - he can't of course give us the sounds while on the run - but Season, what you are talking about is true. It's the reason I and people I know make fun of Facebook and Myspace, but now I have a Google blog and a Facebook! I mostly watch what goes on on Twitter, and occasionally write something that hopefully is interesting on my blog but even though my family has had Facebook for a couple years - my extended family anyway - I only used to laugh at it and never give social networking a second thought. I used to never take blogs seriously at all. And now I wax paternalistic- kiddies, watch what you post; even your future college roommates are gonna read it, and your future employer can read it and make judgments on it as well. If you put it into public space anyone can read it. Same thing I told my daughter ... but anyway, I think those who air all their stuff have probably pushed a lot of us away from social networking for awhile. But now with Facebook I'm making at least some effort to connect with some extended family I haven't in years; they're more rural / conservative types and culturally we live in vastly different universes I'm reticent to claim as parallel.

agree with roboz, lots of people won't give any second thoughts when they doing things on the net either with their blogs or facebook or tweeters. all these places allow anyone to search for you and make a judgement of you on the net that include some important people.
some police forst uses facebook and tweeter to locate their wanted person, and most time, they have quite a high success rate to locate the person they aim for.
in my opinion to write about your daily life in an open space like this is childish, not that i've something to hide, but i'm not a particular open person when come to my life. i don't necessary wanting people to know what exactly time i get up and go to bed, and what exactly i do in between, beside perhaps, my family and my only love.
i do appreciate blogs that provides me with thoughts and, knowledge. over all, i love reading, and some blogs do have the power to transform me in some way.

Childish? People in their fourties and older are writing about their lives on the internet. How can it be childish?
It's just a matter of personal choice. Some people feel more comfortable with revealing details of their private lives than others. The great thing about blogs is that we're free. We don't have to have one. Those who don't want to write about their lives don't have to, and those who do want to write about their lives can. People are using the freedom they have to make the choice they are most comfortable with. Isn't freedom wonderful?

hi all.
i was awake at 7:08AM today after my alarm clock went twice ones at 7:00 and 7:05.
it was nice to waken up h earing the birds singing.
i went to have a morning shower at 7:30AM
i make myself a cup of tea and have some peanut butter on tost at 8AM.
then, i was on my computer untill 10:00AM, check my emails and do all the daily computer stuff.
i went to work at the place where i volunteer, and have a cheese sendwidge at 12:30PM.
i finish my work at 3PM, and catch a taxi home. i got home at 4:15PM, because the taxi driver was lost and don't understand english.
i set with my housemates for a bit, and we have tea at 6:30PM. it is rost chicken with mash potato. its yummy, and i ate everything on my plate.
we watch tv for a bit after tea. i make myself a cup of tea at 9 and chat on msn.
i went to bet at 11. but can't sleep.
i get up and talk to blar blar lar on skype for a bit, and finally went to bed at 2AM. what a long day.
well, perhaps a 40s person will write things like that, but, all the same, its childish.
writing about life is different than writing about every detail in life from the second you gets up till the second you went to bed, and everything in between, and how many times you needin to go to the toilet and how smelly it is.
