David talked about their reluctance to share their blog with others in the real world. I have much the same reluctance, I definitely don't want a coworker on my blog, or even one of my IRL friends. I do occasionally share links to my articles with my wife, but that's infrequent, and I know she forgets the link between pings. For me, the reluctance is similar to David's. This blog is my space to write what's on my mind in my own little vacuum. It's disconnected from the expectations of real life, and a more real reflection of myself versus the "masks" I wear IRL. It's a playground, a place to rant and a place to nerd out. Sometimes I wish my blog was even more private, disconnected from my IRL identity. There's a lot I would like to rant about around corporate America, but I dare not publicly when it's linked to my professional identity. Gotta pay the bills after all. To forward David's ending question: "Do you tell people you blog?".
