jun,

great interview…i’ve been with 20SB for a long while now and can’t overestimate the value it’s brought to my online experience. the community itself is great, and i think highlighting the value of personal blogging, as well as topical blogging by twenty-somethings, is a nice development for everyone. people writing openly about their own lives can find one another and connect.

I’m definitely starting to see that now. Though I’m of the mentality that your blog is the perfect way to build your presence online, I now understand why some people blog for just a personal use.

I’m even thinking of starting a separate blog for just my close and personal friends. Actually, a blog would be too much. Might be just a separate twitter account

Great interview. I appreciate what Lisa said about her pet peeve and ‘brand building’. I’ve seen a lot of quality blogs lose both their readership and the quality because they became so intensely focused on creating a ‘brand’. I like the idea that a blog can be just a blog- not a stepping stone to become the next Dooce complete with book deal.

I like how your face is a purple monster. It’s actually an upgrade from your current face
Much love

Woohoo!

I am so happy to get more into personal blogging as well. I wasn’t any where near one of the first members of 20 Somethings, but I am meeting more and more people on it everyday.

Would love to have you as a guest sometime soon

Blogging to further your career should be a fine thing if it is done in an authentic way. If you wrote about things you didn’t care about, then it may seem unauthentic. However, if you just want to present your good side, I don’t see anything wrong with that. That’s like all facets of life. You would tell your closest friends some things you don’t tell your acquaintances; you would tell your acquaintances something that you don’t tell your teachers; you would tell your teachers something that you don’t tell the world, in this case, through a blog.

Great interview though! I love how straight forward she is and her true passion in personal blogging!

I completey agree with Lisa’s point of view on blogging, and I’m glad the personal side of blogging is finally getting notice. I was one of the first members on her ning site over a year ago and have met so many great people because of it. Go lfar!
