bloggers vs. diarists

It’s dreadful how backlogged my INBOX is, but i’m trying to go through it a bit right now. In it, i found this link trying to differential bloggers from diarists. In it, online diarists are considered the drama club at a high school while bloggers are the yearbook staff (or perhaps they are the A/V staff).

Of course, this did *not* help me resolve my identity. Darn myself for way too many extra currics… who would’ve known that it would destroy my ability to properly label myself online?
