Why do I blog? Let me count the ways?

Submitted by Roland on Sun, 2004-11-21 23:09
  • I blog because I must.
  • Blogito ergo sum.
  • I believe in sharing.
  • I have no long term memory :-) ! I need a backup brain!
  • I believe in transparency.
  • I don't believe in secret societies.
  • I don't believe in exclusive clubs.

I'm taking a survey and I'll post the results early this week at IT Kitchen. Feel free to send a note telling me why you blog to "fpaynter AT sandhilltech.com." if you MUST remain anonymous, tell me... otherwise your name will be included in the reponses I collate. Thanks!

I often blog because I need to forget about something. Often, it works: people will be searching for something, read my weblog entry, and then IM me saying "I really liked your article on the electoral system", and I usually have to ask them to give me the link, because I wrote about it so that I could get whatever idea I had out of my brain.

I also found out that I could make friends through blogging, and wrote in an email to a friend recently "Making friends is hard for everybody. It takes time. And luck. And for me, a weblog."
