Memory Blogs

Blogs about memories are a way for bloggers to share there experiences with others. Memory blogs give good insight to others about someone's life and the things that have affected them. A good example of this is the blog "Alice Ghostley".
http://www.doriengreyandme.blogspot.com/. The blog talks about an older actress from the show Bewitched and how the blogger remembered watching her and being amazed by her acting. The blogger also goes into the death of the actress and how it truely sadden him.
I think that memory blogs are important because its a chance for people to express what is important to them or important things that have happened, while others can read and relate to what they have to say. Memory blogs are also easier to write because it is simply writing what you know. Memory blogs are a great way to let the world know what a someone has gone through.

I agree with what Chloe has to say. Memory blogs come easy to most. When thinking about memory blogs, I think about Myspace. There's a part on the homepage where the myspacer can write how they are feeling, what just happened to them, even posting their class schedules. From my own experiences, I remember years ago reading a friends blog on myspace about how they missed being in high school. Writing down memories or what you are thinking about at the time is a great way to release emotions. A quote I always hear is, “Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.”
