Stay anonymous

Why it’s better to be an anonymous blogger:

- no post subject is off limits
- if u post at work your boss wont find out and think u’re a slacker

u don’t have to filter your words in fear of being judged
- u don’t have to worry about your mom finding out stuff about u
- u can tell stories about your friends without their permission
- it’s easier to share embarrassing stories
- u can vent about someone without having to worry about hurting their feelings

I’m sure there are more reasons, but these are enough for me to keep on being just Joud.

I recall once my blog name was mentioned in an article in one of the newspapers along with other names, and I was terrified!

most of what i write is purely personal, no politics at all, nothing to be afraid of, but i was terrified, don't know why!

then some of my friends and family members started reading my blog, but this time i started feeling a little uncomfortable, don't know why, either!

I even think of closing my blog soon.

I wonder if I am as anonymous as I think!

Anonymous said...

It's a mirage I keep telling myself when I feign anonymity on blogosphere. Technology has gotten too far ahead of itself in outing people.

I would be an exception to what you said.. I'm not an "Anony", most of the people know my blog, seen my pics, met me in the meetings, and I still write the same crap I did back in the Anony stage, if not more extreme.......!!!

it depends on you.....!!!

grey: but u post about your wife anf baby all the time, someone must recognize u ;)

لمياء الحالمة: we all get worried when we feel any breach of privacy . but how did they know that this blog was yours and not some random lamia ?

chika: good for u, though i'm sure your anonymity compromised some of your freedom in writing, at least a little...

lady: exactly

shoush: yes ! 7ash feehom, plagiarizing their stories and forwards, the whole shabang

ms. d: aham shay el te7el6om ! and yes - boys boys boys

bog pearls: the worst is when u dont know ;)

phil: it depends how much specific personal info u post

um-mit3ib: how did u lose some of your anonimity, did u willingly tell people?

exzombie: it does depend on the person, where they're from, how private they are, etc...
