I have taken to a strange sort of blogging. I don’t update very often and when I do it seems that I am usually posting a thought I had a week ago and just haven’t gotten around to typing yet. Reason: I’m really busy lately – uncomfortably so, and when I do have free time I am outside enjoying summer. Anyway, it got me thinking about if what I am doing actually fits the definition of blogging anymore, so I looked up the word online and came across this entry in the Slang Dictionary:
blog n. A type of online diary that someone makes available to other people on the internet. (A very popular way to communicate one's personal details without any social interaction.) : John started a weblog so that other people could read about what he eats for breakfast. , I deleted my blog, since it was too silly.

Any question on what the author thinks about bloggers? I choose to believe that blogging and social media actually enhance my social interaction, as my personal connections are often limited by my busy schedule. I would love to be sitting down to dinner regularly with friends and family discussing these topics, but at this point in my life that just isn’t possible. So, I think of it as a supplement rather than a substitute. Thoughts?
