Facebook is
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. I expect the reason for Facebook’s rise in popularity is to do with this though – as you don’t need to spend hours musing over something to write, you just type a one sentence status update to let your friends know what you’re up to:
Sidekick is: sad that no-one is blogging as much
Sidekick is: short of something to blog about herself
Sidekick is: annoyed by facebookÂ

I’m still resisting the peer pressure over Facebook. My fear is that it will just be another thing that eats time, and doesn’t actually achieve anything. At least I can tell myself that blogging is a) a good way for me to get my thoughts straightened out sometimes, b) a way of practicing my writing skills, and c) and effective way of sharing silly stuff with friends. But I know what you mean about being short of things to blog about…
