Response to "Traveling The-Too-Much-Information Highway"

"Traveling The-Too-Much-Information Highway" is about Heather Hunter's experience with blogging and how it affected her relationship and emotional state. Heather describes herself as an avid blogger and she writes about things that are very personal in her life. When she meets a musician through his blog, she writes about him and all of the things that they do together. After a while, Heather wonders why the musician hasn't tried to make contact with her in a long time and she searches through his blog for clues. After searching around, she finds that there is another girl involved in the musicians life and they seem to be really close. Heather then writes more about this on her blog and tries to spend more time with the musician. The musician eventually figures out that the way Heather has been acting emotionally might be because of him and when he asks her, Heather does not say anything. This is probably because she doesn't want to admit to looking through the musicians blog. Heather says that after a matter of time, she was able to tell the musician about her real problem and then she was happy again.

I can relate to Heather's essay, because I have actually had that same problem in my relationship. I think that that social sites like facebook and blogs can make people have some feelings that are very unreasonable. By searching a partner's facebook because you think that they might be cheating, or thinking about breaking up with you is a bad idea. While, sometimes, it can be effective in getting the information you want, I believe that, most of the time, the messages and pictures you see can be easily misinterpreted.
