Charley17: "What I like about blogging is that I can be completely honest. Nobody will judge me. I read blogs because this is real people talking. Not fiction, not even biography, it is real feelings, written by real people, about real things."

AMK: "I blog to vent my frustrations, and will write a happy blog someday... I keep checking blogs to see how others are doing, and it's great to see that they also care about me. I've never experienced greater love than from complete strangers called bloggers. They've become more like my virtual friends, sisters and a few brothers."

Glama Reesa: "A whole new world has opened up to me. Inside my little grey machine is a world of wonderful friends and the exciting thing is you don't know where they are... they could be your neighbours for all you know. Here I am walking around with all these stories in my head and suddenly I am able to steer them in a direction and begin to journalise them. What really amazed me was that there are people out there reading what I write and taking time to do so."

One of our top bloggers, Marcy, summed it up perfectly in her blog today: "Once I found blogging I found I could write about how I really felt, that it was okay to let it be known that I was missing home, lonely and unhappy. After all no family or friends were reading my blog. I could just let it flow... and in return I got all these wonderful comments back, giving me the courage to keep going. But here inside my computer I found something that makes my time in Germany more manageable: 24.com and the friends I've made here."
