Why has the world suddenly become so self obsessed? Blogs, Facebook, now Twitter. Never in modern times has there been such an frenzied desire to get our inner most thoughts out there for all our friends, family and followers to ponder. Remember when you were younger and kept a diary? Perhaps you still do keep one, but the last thing you wanted was for someone else to read it. But here we all are regalling the latest mundane trip to some local restaurant or pub. Some trips are so localised they are a description of the contents of their fridge or belly button. Well documented trips to off spring's schools, altercations with neighbours, bloody cricket scores, basically, nothing is too banal for inclusion for the world to read via the information super highway.
And there is bugger all wrong any of that. I have accounts with all the mediums above. After all blogs like this one are simply away of sharing opinions, passing on both local and global information. As for Facebook and Twitter sites, I do like to think that I use them sparingly. I don't feel the need to tell the world that I have "checked in at Waitrose" however, I do share gig or cinema trips which let's face it can be as equally mundane to those that read it as a routine trip to the shops. But let's face it, there are no rules. Well actually there are. The usual stuff, no stalking, racial, xenophobic, homophobic, sexist, etc, abuse. Quite right too.
