With facebook, myspace, etc; I doubt it was really all that hard for HLP to find her xanga site in the first place. She was not having a private conversation with a friend or writing in her own personal journal, she was posting things to a website for all the world to see.
She might not quite grasp that "for all the world to see" concept, I'm guessing that most people that post on xanga and the like do not. Ever since I started keeping a blog/online journal of sorts, I've made sure to post nothing I wouldn't want anyone else to read (I keep a real journal for those sorts of private thoughts). I love the fact that these sites have brought back the concept of keeping a journal, but I wish people would understand that it is a public journal.
Should HLP have told her he found her xanga site? Sure, why not, just bring it up in casual conversation. "Oh hey, I came across your xanga site the other day, I didn't realize you had one of those, pretty cool." Should he feel bad or deceptive for reading it anyway? Hell no.
