Blog's of Old
Check this one out, Karin, I, the Rav, and the rest of our torah study group where going over the Psalms. So it accured to me reading Psalms 41 that these things read like blog posts. I am not kidding, read them for yourself. They are 3000 year old blog posts. The first line is always a title or who it's about, It's like the subject line in a blog.
Ok tell me if this seems like something you may have read on blogspot or live journal?
I edited it a bit, tried to go closer to the hebrew. the JPS version is here. So look at the other 149 Psalms, It's like the best of craigslist, ok it's more like blogger but I liked the idea.

As for me, I said: G-d, be gracious to me and heal my soul for I have sinned.
My enemies speak evil of me, they say 'When will he die and his name perish?'
If one come to see me, he lies to me, says nice things; when he leaves, he speaks evil of me.
All of them hate me and whisper together against me, they are all ploting against me:
'I hope he stays sick, and dies, and stays dead.'
Yet, mine own friends, in whom I trust, who did ate at my house, now that I am down they kick me.
But G-d, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.
By this I know that you delightest in me, that my enemy does not triumph over me.
And as for me, You uphold me because of mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever.
