Nexted

Have you ever tried the 'Next Blog' button on the NavBar? It has some weird data mining qualities built in.

For example, every time I try it from my own blog, it always takes me to numerous family blogs. I do enjoy reading the mildly interesting ones, which are few and far between truth be told. But some of them have too many details and too many pics. Something that really scares me.

I would never ever post semi-naked pics of my kids on the internet. For a fact, I would never ever post any pics of my kids on the internet. Call me paranoid if you will, but this day and age, you can never be really sure who has access to your photos. You might put in the strictest privacy/copyright settings, but it would always bother me that some pervert has access to photos of my kids. Damage done is done. Frankly speaking, I would never put pics of my own up there. uh huh. Nopes. Never. But I do have my pics on facebook {somebody please add 'facebook' to Blogger's dictionary) 'cos it makes me feel a lot more safer than putting it up on my blog. There is some semblance of privacy control right?

Ok, Back to nexting. If that is a thing. If its not it should be, 'cos it sure is a source of amusement to a lot of people including me. From family blogs, I wonder due to what weird word attachment, blogger takes me to religious blogs - of all kinds. Ranging from Christianity to Islam to Buddhism. And as if that wasn't weird enough it next decides I need lessons in foreign languages.

Have you had any interesting adventures Nexting? It definitely does not beat blog hopping though. But I think, the safest bet would be to try the Reader's explore option. Took me to some interesting blogs, for sure.

Nowww, guess what...my blog doesnt even show a Next Blog option...but I clearly remember using it some time back...maybe with my old template...But then as u said...it did take me to some weird Spiritual sites...I am still way behind the route to spirituality...

Ok, dear Spiritualists...dont start an argument...Its my belief tht evry human being should explore each phase of their life to the fullest and then only try the next phase...I am still exploring the CRACK Phase of my life...once I get bored with tht, I will surely,turn to spiritualism...atleast not now...
