Blogs v. email

Blogs lack the personal touch that an email correspondence evokes. (Fancy the thought of an email correspondence sounding homey, personal, and old-fashioned! But the trend of communications has gotten ever faster and more technical: Real Letters [pen and ink] are to emails what emails are to IM and what IM, I suppose, is to blogs. The attention span keeps shortening.) But one thing blogs have over email, and that is the removal of the guilt factor! One can go for as long as one likes without posting in an impersonal blog and need never feel that one is neglecting one's social duties.
