The Purpose

This is a blog about friendships in the digital age. It is dedicated to examining the evolution of a friendship borne through facebook. That friendship is of Kath and Kaggers. And that evolution is nothing short of fascinating. By reviewing our messages (our letters) and other sources (less interesting but valid) we will examine the role that technology and social networking play in friendships.

You are about to embark on a journey of our journey so really we are all on this journey together, which should be reason enough to continue reading, but if for some crazy reason it is not enough, here is why you should read this blog:

1. Because it is INTERESTING. Who doesn’t email or facebook or text in today’s digital wonder that is our modern world? The way we communicate has fundamentally changed. Is it for the better? For the worst? Who knows! But during our friendship journey we will find out.

2. Because it is RELATABLE. We can all relate to the universality of friendships and to how technology has become the medium of choice in maintaining those friendships.

3. Because it is FUNNY. Mix equal parts comedy, satirical writing and sarcasm, throw in a dash of awkwardness and a generous pinch of moxie, and you have this blog. Also, we are modest.

Now that we’ve convinced you, please read on. The first part of this blog (about the stages of friendship) may be better understood if read chronologically, so from the bottom up, but we’re not your mother so we won’t tell you what to do.
