Blog Stalkers Annonymous

Good old technology has allowed us to pour our lives onto the great and glorious world wide web!

Facebook, Blogging, Twitter, Buzz, you name it--we do it!

And deny it all you want but we're ALL guilty of either blog stalking or facebook stalking. It's funny how it happens, on facebook, you look at a picture that a friend of yours is tagged in...pretty soon you're going thru the whole album and then you look at another album of there's and pretty soon your clicking on people in the picture and so on and so on....pretty soon your are looking at pictures of someone 5 states away & you don't have the slightest idea how you got there! Same goes for blogging, somehow you run across a blog and the person doesn't know you but you read their blog and feel like you do KNOW them. The best is when you finally meet one of these people, say a friend of a friend, and in the back of your mind, your like I do know who you are, but only because we have 80 facebook friends in common and your in all the pictures...we've never actually met!

Today I had a funny conversation about blog stalking with Chelsey --how we've seen someone in the grocery store & they don't know us, but we follow their blog. How funny it is, how we stumble upon blogs and then even though we don't know the person we read them cuz they're cute or they are great writers, or whatever the reason be. Then we wondered people do the same thing to us (blog stalk). I don't find my life very exciting or STALK worthy, but hey you never know!!!

And then there is the debate, if your going to someone should you leave a comment, or "follow" them so they're at least aware you're doing, making it a little less creepy. Or would they find you doing that more creepy/weird? I'll admit, I've got many blogs I read that have no idea I read them, some that I decided to "follow" even though they don't know me.

So here is our question...what do you do? and have you any funny stories of run-ins with people you stalk on social networking site or on blogs? and thirdly, if your going to stalk a blog are you brave enough to add a comment? ...p.s. if you do happen to stumble upon my blog & stalk it, now would be a perfect time to admit it! And I promise I won't think your weird or a Chester (unless you really are in fact a Chester), heck chances are I'll be flattered people actually read this!
