Blogging comes naturally for some. The simplicity of point, click, read, obsess appeals to more and more people every day. It’s a nifty community with endless possibilities. But have you ever tried to talk about the habit in conversation? Unless you’re with another obsessive blog-surfer there’s just no way to do it with grace and dignity. As if the word “blog” isn’t weird enough. Conversations like this are probably common:
“So I was featured in laist the other day, and–”
“What?”
“It’s a website. A blog. Like, you know, memepool…”
“Ellayst? Mean-pole? What?”
“Funkyjenn gave me props the other day, too, which was kewl.”
“Funky–”
“Oh, and I read this excellent article about the erosion of support for Roe v. Wade and the implications for women today.”
“Really? Where’d you find that?”
“Um, Boing Boing.”
…
“I gotta go.”
