Of course, Gothamist caught the essay from Heather Hunter, aka This Fish, in the NY Times' Styles section about the highs and lows of dating another blogger. Our favorite quotes:
- Although good sense told me that blog-stalking my lover's lover wasn't the healthiest approach to the situation, compulsion trumped reason, and I stalked freely.Word up, sister friends. Here at Gothamist, we're certainly not immune to the incestuous blog fabric, but we've learned, because of our propensity to imagine, blog stalk, and general craziness, that we must draw the line at getting too personal. Sure, Gothamist will mention some embarrassing incidents and obsessions, but we're not writing about our dating life...plus, that would be painfully boring. Instead, we stick to the relationships that matter - the ones with pandas, BBQ, and Jerry Orbach.
- From a romantic "rival": "I hate the incestuous nature of blogs," the Photographer wrote. "I hate learning things about people in blogs, reading about someone I know in a blog."
Meeting over blogs: Good news or bad mojo? Or do you use the Internets for the usual - porn, celebrity gossip, MP3s, and solutions for your ADD?

What's ADD?
Attention Deficit Disorder.
What's the winner of the 2004 Really Awkward Post Title award? ;)
can anyone understand this headline?
"Is The New Meeting Cute Is Meeting Blog?"
Yeah... I didn't really get the title either. I have a sneaking suspicion there was a f**k up somewhere :)
i think the title was translated from the original chinese.
also, does anyone know the blog of the boy in question?
Sure do. Do I smell a bribe??
'meeting blog' is definitely happening. i have begun to avoid entries related to my dating life.
btw, jen, it's nice seeing you @ the sunshine theatre. i was the one who said 'hello'. the film for this weekend will probably be 'the bad education'.
Yup, definitely a header mess-up. And on the "meeting people through their blogs" topic, I have had great experiences meeting women through their blogs, and the guys I've met, while none of them have blossomed into romance, have all been fun, too. I think there are worse ways to meet someone. Of course, if the blogger in question regularly blogs their emotional/sexual life, you're dealing with something different. I don't know how Fish and the Musician managed this whole thing--sounds like a nightmare to me. But I guess their story proves it's workable.
The musician's blog is here. The "other woman" is Stephanie Klein (she ID'd herself on This Fish), who took last week's infamous lechon photo.
Oops, I was thinking of a couple of different titles (one in the declarative, one in the interrogative). It's meant to be "Is The New Meeting Cute Meeting Blog?" Boo on me.
i still dont get it
"Meet cute" is a term that's shorthand - and I'm trying to explain it as best I can - for "how two people meet in a cute way and they will strike up a romantic relationship." I see "meet cute" a lot in movie reviews. For example, in Roger Ebert's movie review of Before Sunrise, he writes, " They Meet Cute on a train in Austria." In his review of Notting Hill, he writes, "The film of course begins with a Meet Cute; she wanders into his bookstore, enjoys the way he handles a would-be shoplifter and their eyes, as they say, meet."
i'm all for getting to know people through their blogs - seems to have worked out well for myself. and some of my best friends are due to blogging, so all in all good experiences.
I always love to meet fellow bloggers, but have not yet ventured into the world of dating them. Not sure it's such a good idea.
I don't have sex with anybody who has even heard of the Internet.
Dating bloggers is a horrible idea. Bloggers should remain lonely, bitter and vengeful, lest their writing quality suffer.
ahhh I see. we dont get much of this new jargon down here in hell. we have heard of "internets" though. Need to buy some wood? heheheh
