Blogs

Funny things blog diaries. Diaries used to be a book of secrets, hidden in drawers, sometimes even with a little lock and key. Only found after your death and, if you are famous, published. Nobody was meant to read your diary, it was a place of safety to write your fears, expectations and secrets. If ever read by someone else - mortification.

Now with blogs, twitter, FaceBook, MySpace etc etc millions of people expose the moments of their lives - be it a passing event, an emotion, a story or just chitchat. When did this start - this need to expose oneself to the world, to pass on information and photographs - and why?

We have become both voyeurs and voyeurees, surveillers and the surveilled in this nano-second world. Personally I love it.
