Metacommentary Entries

Jan 19, 2005 16:59


It's amazing to look at what things people comment upon in your diary. From what I can tell from my particular journal, people are more interested in commenting on the superficial parts of your life. Like which weblogging software is the best, or about FlexHours, or ethnic diversity. Whereas whenever a deep, personal thought surfaces, it goes by unnoted.

My theory is that people only comment upon the entries that they can actually relate to. So perhaps if someone else has had a similar ephiphany (e.g. being inspired by the Word) or experience then a comment could be made. However, an entry with no common ground whatsoever is curiosa, and is read for the entertainment value and no more.

I fully expect this entry to be completely ignored. However, being self-referential, this entry might cause people to comment, just because. This paragraph is getting quite Moseresque. This is the last sentence of the journal entry. This is the last sentence of the journal entry. This is the last sentence of the journal entry. This is.

Sorry.

reading, weblogs
