I have noticed a trend that Facebook seems to be replacing blogging as an online activity. I think this is a real shame as Facebook is much more superficial and less thoughtful than individual’s blogs.

Sidekick is: sad that no-one is blogging as much
Sidekick is: short of something to blog about herself
