Same link as below, but thought I'd emphasize it. Jim Blizzard is asking "why do you blog?"
I blog for a few reasons:
1) I'm a geek and love telling people about cool things I've found.
2) If I put them on my blog, I know that Google will be able to help me find them later on.
3) It lets me have a conversation with a wide variety of people every evening.
4) After reading me, readers of my blog often teach me more than I knew on a specific topic.
5) I've been given a certain amount of "Google Juice" and I enjoy pointing at people and sharing my GooglePower. Even folks I don't always agree with (you do notice that by linking to Microsoft's competitors I'm helping out their ranking in Google, don't you?)
6) I like telling stories about people and situations I've been in thanks to my view of the high-tech industry.
7) I am impelled to write it. Translation: I'm addicted.
8) I want to write down some of my history and keep track of interesting things I've done so that I can go back and enjoy them later on (and so my son, wife, and family can stay involved in my life too).
9) I enjoy learning about conversational marketing. I really do believe that blogging will someday be a "new PR arm" of most major corporations. By blogging every day, I can learn a set of "best practices" that I can teach to others at Microsoft and at other corporations.
10) I'm a news hound and enjoy reporting things before other people (or now, services like Technorati or Daypop) can get to them.
So, why do you blog? If you don't blog, why not?
