These interviews started with the intention of getting to know my online friends better, and exposing a side of them that might not necessarily be apparent online. Each interviewee was asked ten questions, five of which were generic, and five of which directly applied to the specific individual. If you are interested in being interviewed, please leave a comment on this post.

Interview with Melody of bittersky.org:

• Do your friends and family know you have a blog? If so, do they read it?
  My friends do… I think. I understand the blog is public and that anyone can view it, therefore I don’t discuss overly personal issues or name names. Although my URL is not something I’d put down on my resume, I am fairly open about it. It is listed on my Facebook, so anyone who has the slightest interest would notice. However, I keep no track of who visits it and who doesn’t. My boyfriend reads it regularly and makes the occasional comment on the site – he almost comments directly to me on every entry though. A close friend has asked me to keep writing because she enjoyed reading it – before I had no idea that she would visit.

  Back when I started blogging, I asked my dad to pay for my hosting/domain and I promised him it was a writing exercise so he definitely knows. He would still read my blog from time to time, but because he has realised there is no intimate personal stuff going on he has pretty much lost interest. As for my mum and my brother, they recognize it is just another hobby of mine and couldn’t care any less.
