Once upon a time I was an Open Diary fan. I wrote regularly, made wonderful relationships, and generally wasted a lot of time there. They had a fun little feature where you could click "random diary" and you'd get something that was recently updated. I met some great people through randomizing, and I never knew what I would find.
I thought the "Next Blog" feature would be something like that... an entirely random blog would come up and I could decide whether or not to read said blog. Well, it seems to me that it's not so random. I keep getting "family" blogs, mostly moms sharing pictures of their kids..... or missionary blogs, spreading "the word".
It would be one thing if I only got these blogs occasionally in a mix of everything else, but.... WTF? I don't need to read "my problems with fertility" for 15 blogs in a row before getting thrown into the midst of LDS missionaries in Japan complaining that the new person that they met is an unbeliever and needs converting for another 10.
So what's going on here? Is this a sign that I need to procreate and go back to church? If so, I'll just quit the internet entirely. Are the blogs in "strings", where when you click "next" it has something to do with previous blogs? Did my posting "The Nanny" and "The Lost Symbol" doom me to being strung in next to soccer moms and bible thumpers? Or is there just THAT many blogs devoted to children and Jesus that I am doomed to hit "Next Blog" and surely get one?
