Notes After a Prolonged Absence

I have decided to renew my commitment to my Blog. Henceforth, it shall be about what interests me. As that varies from day to day, so will the subject matter of this blog vary.

Today's topic is the nature of the Blog itself. I've discovered that a friend of mine has a Blog. And this friend, who happens to be female, does not know that I know of the existence of her blog.

The question of the moment is: am I obligated to tell her of the existence of my Blog? And if she knew of my Blog, would she be obligated to tell me?

I feel as though I'm spying on her. The Blog is personal, somewhat private, but — as it's on the Web, public.

What are my ethical obligations here?
