This just in, the blog people reject social networking. What, a website where you talk to your friends, not an audience? Madness!

Now, the vast majority of people who only wanted a blog to keep their friends and family updated on their life are a different story. They've all hit Facebook by now, or should have.

You know what I'm saying -- we're talking two different lifestyles here. "Well-known blogger" can be accurately used in a newspaper, but "famously prolific Facebook user" is still a phrase that could only come straight from The Onion.
