Selling your soul to the Internet

[rebeccmeister]

A blogger on my friendslist recently wrote a post about deciding to not sign up for a myspace account. As with any technology, the internet has both benefits and drawbacks, and I tend to think this holds true of sites promoting different forms of self-expression on the internet as well. As I wrote in my reply to this blogger's post, I tend to think that blog-style sites=good, while basic profile-style sites=bad. But perhaps that's just because I think I get a better understanding of how a person thinks from reading his or her writing instead of reading his or her laundry list of interests or friends or whatever. Blogging also tends to take a bit more commitment as well.
