Reality blogging
May 11th, 2005It would be like reality TV, but with blogs! Think about it, people are all about reading into other peoples lives… what if someone set up an environment that people would regularly blog about
their interactions with each other. If it was consist and easy for someone to stumble on to, I think it would gain great readership.
Brandon also mentioned that focused blogging would be a great way to rapidly write a book. The readers would get content as it came off of the authors (or group of authors) head instead of waiting for the packaged product.
UPDATE: This exact thing is being done! Thanks for the pointers….

I think this is a horrible idea, and doesn’t really rank any higher in my universe than the Real World or Days of Our Lives. From personal experiences, blogging about particular people in your personal life can lead to very bad things because once you post, it doesn’t ever really come back, and it’s also trapped in its contexts (time, feeling, emotion, etc.). It can be a very dangerous thing — although I guess that is why people are drawn to it.
