As I began to settle, before sleep last night, the memory of a small social blip appeared. There was a brief moment, local & national--perhaps global, when many started blogging and finding others nearby on social media--Twitter, mainly.
The blogging is what I remember most. For a time, it seemed like there were more blogs than a person could easily keep up with--with new ones continuing to pop up. We'd read and comment on each other's blogs, we created "blog rolls" on our own blogs, to encourage readers to check-out what else was out there.
Then one day, we started planning get togethers--with people we felt we knew, but had never met. Was so great, meeting the people who belonged to those Twitter handles/names! Who knew it would be so brief?
Is there a name for such moments? Perhaps it's what happens in the beginning of something new--folks rushing in at the start and then gradually eroding to a small handful. Whatever it was, I'm glad I was there and in it. It was a delightful, nearly glorious moment. Love, K
