You Go Girl

There's an interesting article in today's Boston Globe about women bloggers

In particular, I loved the summary. It really hit the nail on the head for me:

Blogs have helped women to find their voices. Some of them find their voice 15 minutes at a time, which is why Lisa Williams said it's a perfect medium for multitasking parents. Many women talk about how they see their lives as markedly different pre- and post-blog. The biggest benefits -- relationships, community -- can't be quantified.

Eighty-year-old Garfield, one of the Internet's oldest bloggers, according to the Ageless Project, a site dedicated to proving the point that people of all ages are on the Web, sums it up:

``On my blog, people listen to me and they really get to know me."

She observed that in regular conversation, someone else is always trying to talk.

``But on my blog I can finish my thought. And I've discovered I have a sense of humor."
