The basic idea is that by your choice of words, you can become a personal friend even without revealing a lot of personal information. There are definitely many people who reveal too much personal information. I once had a classmate with really bad personal hygiene who enjoyed revealing vivid details of her sex life. Made us feel like vomiting every time. I used to write direct mail letters, and one of the things my mentor taught me was to use “I” and “You” instead of the standard “We” and “Our Customers”.

I've seen many a personal blog evolve (or is that devolve?) into political blogs and loose a share of their readership. I must admit it’s an interesting point in regards to the personal blog.

It is dead on accurate. It can go the other way as well, if you have a personal site, you shouldn't go too far into business you will loose your readers who want to read a new version of "reality". There is a very fine line here. I love this post. It is dead on accurate.
