My first language isn’t even English, I just find it more practical. I have friends and family who don’t share my first language but speak English as their first/second one, so it’s easier to communicate that way. Online, I feel like it’s easier to find people who share the same interests that way as well. I have no plans to blog in other languages right now, much less write 2+ versions of blog posts, so English it is. Maybe one day that’ll change.
That said, I’ll often read blogs/sites in other languages that I speak or understand. I especially used to do this as a kid/teenager and it could be very interesting to see a different Internet culture compared to the Anglophone one.
@hedy, I loved that post! I really enjoyed how thoughtful it is and the way it blends different subjects together. I didn’t know about the whole thing with the pottery shards, that was neat to learn!
