Now it's called blogging. Xanga -> LiveJournal -> Tumblr.
- bmj 16y agoDid you read the article? Blogging is mentioned. Personally, while I do blog periodically, my journal is entirely different than what I publish online. My journal is for my own consumption. Some things that are written down there (I prefer pen and paper) may end up online or in an essay, but others won't see the light of day (often for good reasons).
- jw84 16y agoI write the same way in my blog as I do in a diary and leave it open with my name attached. I prefer it. Other than that I'm not sure what we're arguing about. Though it is interesting you have things to hide.
- maxwell 16y agoFor me it's not having things to "hide", it's editing and keeping drafts. And I sometimes like pen and paper to supress premature editing. If I have a keyboard, it's hard to keep my fingers off Alt and Ctrl. (I exclusively use web apps and I haven't found/made a good browser-Vi yet.)
- bmj 16y agoWhy is it a bad thing to keep some thoughts to yourself? And I'm not necessarily referring to thoughts about other people.
- bmj 16y agoYou are confusing having something to hide and keeping your thoughts to yourself. There is a difference.
- jw84 16y agoNo, I'm pretty sure I know the difference. But the older I get, the more sure I am of my opinions, the more educated I am of my thoughts, the better I am of writing, the less I care the more I start to see something to hide and hiding thoughts are too similar.
