A few weeks ago, I thought why not? everyone is using a rss reader, so i should too!<\/i> So I downloaded a rss reader to my dashboard and proceeded to add the blogs I read to it.<\/p>\n
The following days felt…too organized. It would tell me when the blog had been updated. I could easily read all the latest entries on that widget. It felt strange and alien, but I kept up with the blogs more diligently than I had previously. Yet, there was no satisfaction of randomly visiting a blog and discovering to my pleasure that it had been updated. I didn\\’t like that lack of the emotional aspect. I didn\\’t like the lack of spontaniety and serendipity.<\/p>\n
A few days later, I deleted the widget and decided to return to my good old roots of using my mind to predict when my friends\\’ blogs would be updated.<\/p>\n
That\\’s why I didn\\’t like livejournal. I could never rely on the fact that people could miss it. They would always see it. The same with the xanga subscriptions. The way I blog is meant to be read daily, diligently…or just in one sitting every few days. Or at least that\\’s how I perceive it. It\\’s meant to be stumbled upon on, whether by google or some trigger in the memory.<\/p>\n
