Funny article. I don't digg, and I think I"ll stick to sites with serious commentary.

What I found interesting was the anonymity correlation. I strive to keep my gloves above the belt, while I'm blogging. I never thought about other people not doing the same. In reality, I'm outspoken, and not so nice to people that piss me off. I never shy away from an opportunity to tell someone, "how ignorant," I believe they are. I wonder if there are more people like myself, that blog with a degree of composure, that wouldn't actually represent their true personality?

I don't digg either, well technically I probably did open an account to see what it offered - but nothing has really caught my interest to invest too much time. Maybe all that testosterone scared me away.

It only makes sense... for goodness sakes! Woman have ALWAYS been "the more social" of the sexes. We need talk time, discussing issues and looking for collaborative solutions!

If you think about it - this is our world and we will continue to utilize the internet :: blogging, social networks, web pages to bring about social change. Have you ever heard the phrase, "Behind every good man - there's a woman!"

I truly believe now is the time for us to use all of our tools of communication to heal our SELF and Others! I applaud all the strong women who came before us and our sisters who stand up even now talking about the "big & small" issues in the ring with the boys.

Once we realize we are on the same side, life will be so much easier. Till then, just continue doing what women do best! Sharing - Communicating - Evolving - Healing - Loving
