a day in your life?

A friend sent me this link a while ago and it’s basically a site where members take pictures of a day in their lives.

It intrigued me how I could spent hours just looking pictures of people Id never met. I guess the difference from this blog community to a virtual community like myspace is that people on mypspace feel like they have a community of interests and may know each other outside cyberspace. Within this blog community, the personal intimacy is greater than any other virtual community after all, you are letting strangers take a look into a day in your life.

Another thing to note is the ability of people to post pictures of themselves doing the most private things, things which no stranger would be able to see, e.g pictures of members going to the bathroom. The purpose of this blog is to share your lifestyle and let other people experience is vicariously through your pictures, but to me, letting complete strangers see pictures of you in your underwear seems like a true and almost direct reflection of narcisstic culture? Any thoughts?
