I often wonder whether my life would be different had I found a "niche" for my blog. I know I've got my academic blog which kind of fits into a certain category, but it's not my primary blog (which would undoubtedly fit into the "my life and experiences" field of blogging.
But what if I'd had the inclination to blog about one particular topic, like 1000 Tiny Things I Hate (a blog I discovered last night and quite like)? Or what if I blogged about teapots and ONLY teapots, or something? Would I be obsessed with teapots in real life? Would I be more observant of teapots, just as I am currently more observant of generally everything, just so I have something to blog about?
Thanks for the link to the PEW report, by the way (yeh, I'm only just getting around to looking at it now! Past month has been hectic!). Some reading for me this afternoon, I thinks.
