Blog stalking is a subset of cyber stalking. Much like picking one's nose blog stalking is a terrible habit that you want no one to witness. If you are not reading my blog out of pity, you have probably been guilty of this activity too. I have been down many a downward spiral of blog stalking, especially 4-5 years ago when blogging was still cool. Why? Because it is so easy and feels like contained gossip because it is often posted by the very person you are trying to get info on. My logic was if they are posting this info publically why not read it? Also blogging was simply a lot cooler than it is now.
Why bring this up? After looking at the blog of person who I shall call Wetthyjn, I saw things I regret seeing. Nothing shocking or illegal just embarresingly personal things I did not want to know about Wetthyjn's life. Things that were not even worth gossiping about to other people. So I have decided to only read the blogs of people I will actually talk to in public. Or in the very least people I actually like.
Well that is enough soapboxing for now, adios.
