An experiment

Blog is essentially a journal recording your daily life in a public way. Let's not kid ourselves. There is nothing such as private journal on the internet. I predominantly use blogger but it's not the only provider though I think it is the most popular one. Examples like Myspace, Zynga which I think flopped and Friendster which also flopped.

Nature of experiment also keep quiet to avoid all the 'Influencers' associated with it to declare me as enemy of the state.
