It seems it’s some kind of nation-wide college get-to-know-people, all-encompassing online service thing, where you can create your own blog and look at other people’s, even from different schools. I suppose, that it’s, like Facebook, in its own way, trying to tie college students together. Colleges and services like these are getting the word about blogging out there, encouraging everyone to do it. What’s the best way to convince the public to jump on the bandwagon? Is the blogging world spreading in ways other than via word-of-mouth or observation?
I didn’t get it directly but several folks sent me copies. Looked like a FaceBook competitor. Did you sign up?

No I didn’t get it. That’s weird. I really think that blogging is becoming a huge thing in society.

I’m a PhD student and I did get it. I didn’t sign up or do anything with it, yet.

I got it and was afraid to open it because I thought it was a virus at worst, junk mail at best. Goes to show how technophobic I am, I guess.

I’ve gotten so many invitations to so many new “hot” online communities that I just ignore them now. Give me facebook or give me death.
