I am aware that a lot of people love receiving little bits of info, I just
generally find it insubstantial. And I know a lot of people love to

I don't see your general dislike of blogs as a problem. Some people
do other things than what blogs are good for. No problem at all.

Public diaries are not my thing, reading them or writing them.

Ah, I'm glad I'm not alone - I felt kind of shamed into it when my older

I use it, it allows me to help keep track of friends and 'family'. To
help with maintaining it though, I tend to ignore almost all of the
application requests and if I am amused by a test, hit skip when it asks to
pick friends to share it with.
