"Wow, did I ever not like that article. Just in-depth enough to manufacture an "insider" feel, just shallow enough to belie a diarist who wants it both ways: exhibitionism with boundaries. She touched on too many facets of online journaling without doing any one of them any kind of justice, the "Hare-Hare" thing didn't gel with the point of the piece, and her own treatment of how and why she shut down her journal was pure bait-and-switch: we're led to believe in the trailer that she was somehow "forced" to shut down her site, but in a single over-edited paragraph, we find out that she really just got weirded out by having to take responsibility for what she'd written."
