Definition of kairos In rhetoric is "a passing instant when an opening appears which must be driven through with force if success is to be achieved." Mark Freier (2006) "Time Measured by Kairos and Kronos" ^ E. C. White, Kaironomia p. 13
Which I think is similar to the ‘rhetorical situation’ according to the context.
1. ‘As people relinquish control over increasing amounts of personal information, the y expect increasing access to information in return.’
2. ‘people are sharing unprecedented amounts of personal information with total strangers, potentially millions of them.’ Any one, or all, of these functions, may be a factor in an individual's willingness to "overshare"
3. ‘ Both voyeurism and exhibitionism have been morally neutralized and are on their ways to becoming ordinary modes of being, subject positions that are inscribed in our mediated discourse.’
I strongly agree with these concerns. Overshow probably means forcing others to receive the information which is really not good. Weblog is a intersection of the public and private, it is based on the Internet technology and convenience to use. The reader seems quite contradictive, it can be everyone on the Internet but at the same time it can be no one. Therefore, there may cause plenty of problems.

The importance of voyeurism is that the publisher tend to know what information their receiver would like to get, therefore they could give them better experience. It seems like a rhetorical analysis. As a writer, we are supposed to be clear whom we are writing to, thus we can satisfy the reader and make it a success.
1. How could you prevent your weblog being read by someone whom you don’t want your statues exposed to?
2. Is there any way that people can read weblog privately and doesn’t make the writer aware of the stalker?
3. Is it legal to shut down someone’s overshow weblog without the permission of the publisher and announced the public in advance?
