People who I would never have known existed if it wasn't for their blog. Although I may never meet these people, I feel a certain bond with them because of common interests. Mohit makes raises an interesting point about not blogging about deep thoughts. I think this is something many people struggle with (me included). But I find that it all relates to a target market. For instance, I hate reading about some kid on LiveJournal who is sick of their teacher and has detention today. But just because I don't like reading that, doesn't mean it doesn't reach out to someone. Because it does... it reaches out to other students and people their age. I've decided that it's ok with me to write about deep thoughts on my blog because after all, it is MY blog. And in a way it's like therapy to get things off my chest. Other wise I would just bottle up a lot of emotion and that just isn't healthy. I recently read an article about bloggers viewing their sites as a bit of therapy which I can completely understand.
