This ignorant, ignorant man got a job with a website because they figured his ‘celebrity’ would bring them attention. And lo’ and behold, they bet right. Posting about it here, I’m contributing to it this very moment.

This is by no means the first time, as I’m sure any one of you could list off a hundred names of people we’ve made famous, and we’ve given a voice to. None of them earned that right.

All these people, these ‘celebrities’ are filling our media with useless drivel as a war in the Middle East gets bumped off the front page. This is a problem, and it’s not going to get any better.

How much transparency is too much transparency, ladies? How do you decide what parts of yourself to share with the world, and what you keep private? And how do you manage making sure the people you are close to in your life know the right stuff before you tell the world?

In sum, blogging provides a “living portrait” that not only shows ideas and interests of a blogger, but also helps to get to know her as a person, by observing writing, linking and interaction over time. Such observation is not necessarily reciprocal, so asymmetrical relations are something that bloggers have to deal with. While it may be one-sided, learning about other bloggers from a distance provides an opportunity to make informed choices about possible closer contact with them, knowledge of their interests and personalities, as well as enough starting points for an interaction.
