This is what might be termed self selecting- people who like privacy don't set up accounts or stay active; people who want to spread the word about their interests/lives/successes will stay active.

Some people > do other things than what blogs are good for. No problem at all. I like information to be really in-depth, and that is often impossible with a blog. Public diaries are not my thing, reading them or writing them. I don't understand why people want to make their daily lives public. It's not that I do anything especially embarrassing. It's just that I don't see why anyone other than close friends would be interested in most of the stuff that gets published in the average on-line diary. Doesn't anyone ever want privacy? I just joined another online group on somebody's > recommendation (they were raving about it). I spent a couple of hours > poking around their site and found only two things that interested me, > out of the tens of thousands of things on there. That's the other problem with the net. There's a lot of stuff, but it's unedited, unorganized stuff of all levels of quality. People seem to feel the need to just say _something_, anything, all the time. And to post pictures of it.
