Z-Blog

Reading Clive Thompsons article in Decembers Wired about how everyone is a micro-celebrity with their own blog, Facebook profile and life stream of twitter twits and flickr images, I reflected on my own experience. Meeting a lot of friends around christmas festivities we of course chat about what was happening in the past year, yet this year was different. Since I started posting on my blog/twitter/flickr a bit more often recently I’ve started hearing interesting replies on my conversations openers. Mostly it is something along the lines: ”I know, I’ve seen it on your blog.”

Writing a personal blog is thus very similar to having your very own tabloid  with small but tasty details of your life. Depending on what type of person you are, you might enjoy this fact or become shocked that people know much more about you than you expected. Most likely they also talk to each other about things you lifecasted.

But talking about other people in your personal tabloid is hard right now. This is why our plugin has capability to recommend stories and links to other people, so it is much easier for you to connect special sections (trackbacks) of your upcoming editorials.
