Would Anne have Blogged?

OK. I get it. The world is blogging. Find a quiet place and you'll hear the tip-tippy-tap of keyboards around the globe as will spew our angst and hopes into the ether. We're a community of writers, for sure.

But who are the readers? Are there even enough eyeballs in the world to read all the tripe that's produced each day? And that's assuming everyone could (or would want to) read the language in which any particular post is written.

So maybe this is just a virtual diary. If she were around today, would Anne Frank have blogged? And if so--and this is the real question -- would anyone have READ her entries in time to save her?

Sadly, I'm thinking not.
