is_blather_supposed_to_be_secret In_Bloom I wonder because I don't rightly know See, I followed someone here and decided to play Maybe that's not the way it's done At first I shared blather with a few but I don't anymore Just to be safe, you know- not to upset whatever hierarchy and balance has been here. So I'm sorry for my part, especially after reading the blather newbie rants. 090213 ... minnesota_chris don't worry about it, say what you like, just don't be boring Blather will always be smaller than facebook, livejournal, and 4chan anyways. 090214 ... In_Bloom It may be boring but it's true and may be that everyone doesn't know... Soylent Green IS people! 090215 ... Ouroboros I've shown blather to most of the people close to me- some couldn't care less, some can't read it because of the formatting, some blathed here for short or long periods of time. And I know of no hierarchy on blather, and the 'balance' always moves around a bit. No apologies, just follow your heart. 090216 ... jane i have shared it with a few people over the last 9 years, but honestly i have opened my heart so freely on here that i wouldn't want just anyone seeing my words. use at your own discretion. 090216 ... u24 is_blather_supposed ? is_blather_supposed_to_be ? 090217 ... also what_is_blather_supposed_to_be ? 090217 ... BnB No. Blather is not supposed to be a secret. After all, nothing on the internet stays secret for long. Sure, it can get lost in the true blathermaze that is the internet, but eventually people will stumble on it. It's only a matter of time. 090218 ... ergo Blather? Never heard of it. 090219 ... meta meta 090506 ... Doar Dammit...I thought it was..... So much for the blather_secret_society hand shake I've been practicing.......in secret! . 090506 ... camille ssssshhhhhhhhhhh 090506 ... unhinged it has been brought up to me again in the past two days that blather is very googleable . so no it is not a secret. especially when back in the day you stupidly put someone's full name here and every psycho he's dated since googles him. do you guys do that? google peoples' full names i mean? 090506 ... Ouroboros guilty as charged yeah 090506 ... tessa regularly that's how i found blather 090507 ... u24 yeah I google people all the time. not dates, just people I know. I think it's almost expected practice among techies. 090507 ... unhinged balls 090507 ... . isn't blather not supposed to be anything? 090623 ... Lemon_Soda My full name, familial stauts, career...its all here...anyone googleing my name would find blather. I wonder if it will ever bite me inthe ass, what I've written here. But another part of me fervently believes that I knew what I blathed at the time to be true...so even if things change, I change... I wasn't wrong to write what I did. That said, I hope blather is't a secret. I hope someone can learn something from us, from me. 090623 ... see also what_is_blather_supposed_to_be 090623 ... z no. 090624 ... TCMT I've read on other threads that if blather ever became popular, it would be destroyed. It seems that blather as it is, depends on a small readership. Could you imagine recent pages that you have to scroll down endlessly just to find something you actually want to blathe under? But if blather ever got that big, couldn't it simply be reformatted. Sometimes I dream as an intricately deep blather verse, like "The Library of Babel" where you can go down staircases for an eternity and not bump into people. Or there are so much people that you can always find something you want to talk about and people to talk about it with. Maybe both can exist. 131127 what's it to you? who go blather from
