For the time being, I intend on posting in both blogs. Sometimes, they will be the exact same post (or approximations of the same) and other times, they may be quite different. For today, I feel a similar message should be posted to both. In twenty-four hours, I have gone from excited about blogging to concerned. The sources for the page views are such odd places (that I have never heard of before) that I am struck with exactly how public and vastly open the internet can be. Furthermore, I am struck with how vulnerable individuals can be when posting or communicating online.
What I though would be a fun way to express myself (even after the class is over) is turning into another experience in which I feel I have to censor myself because I never know who is viewing the posts and why they are viewing them. Maybe it is just me over-reacting. Maybe the sources involve bots that look for new blogs or sites (presumably to catalog to sell as information). Maybe I have nothing about which to be concerned.
Yet...
I don't know...
Classmates, what are your thoughts?
