Blogs

Am I the only one who feels weird reading other people’s blogs? Kinda voyeuristic…don’t know these people. They are some random schmucks on the internet and here I am reading what they think about their life, personal issues and stuff.

Feels kinda creepy and stalkerish…

Re: Blogs

To me its all good, until people start talking about pissing and bleeding in their pants.

Re: Blogs

Sure whatever... Can you open up your curtains? I can't see you while you sleep.

I like watching you while you sleep.

Stares

Re: Blogs

nooo it does not feel odd...it's not like i am stalking them or anything...okay i give an example...there was this girl whose blog i read which was basically based on her personal problem and despite being in a trouble, she was being grateful to God and hanging on to the hope...i kind of needed the lesson at that point of time which i learned after reading her blog that no matter what happens you cant lose hope in HIM....so you read about people's experiences and learn from them...and imagine how many people must have prayed for her and given her the support she needed.....

Re: Blogs

Indeed blogs like all things have thier advantages and disadvantages.

On the whole I'm tempted to write a Blog of my own sometime... :@:

Re: Blogs

you have the option to make your blog public or private. however, stalker/creep/voyeur is someone who stealthily pursues people against their will.

Re: Blogs

If you can read it, they want you to read it. Nothing creepy about it.

Blogs are great as long as people respect what's in someone's blog (public or private) and don't drag their blogs anywhere outside of the blogs section e.g. forum threads or MSN etc!

Re: Blogs

Yeah, I read recently about someone trying to make it with their cat. Creepy indeed.

Re: Blogs

^ :D. I just left a similar comment in his blog. hello brother perv.

Re: Blogs

Is it the reading or the writing that bothers you?

Reading a blog - I am only reading what someone else has chosen to share or overshare as the case may be. Voyeurism implies covert spying - with the blogs you are invited to glimpse into someone else life.

Writing a blog - same goes - the blogger only writes what he or she want others to know - there’s a choice. Do some people overshare, maybe, but who am I to judge :hinna:

Re: Blogs

I know, I used to feel the same way. The privacy settings are there though so these people obviously want to be read and left comments.

Re: Blogs

:rotfl:
What the hell kind of blog was that?? That person needs to get some some chipotlaway.

Re: Blogs

so you didn't notice the recent 'bloody' thread ??

Re: Blogs

^ yeap to Rizla86

I dont think stalkers can read private blogs, unless they are stalkers as well as hackers.

Re: Blogs

:rotfl: oh I get it now, I was thinking something else. I thought he meant an actual blog.

Re: Blogs

I hate all of you for poking your nose in my blogs, especially the one that I write about other people’s private matter :mad:

Re: Blogs

you thought right. he meant an actual blog actually :chai:

Re: Blogs

Re: Blogs

Reptile......now go figure :D

Re: Blogs

Guys, can we stop bringing up people's blogs in here, please? Even if they're public. It just isn't ethical.
