Why We Blog

The premise of this article was exactly what it says on the tin - why do people choose to blog?  It gave a variety of reasons, from the professional, such as personal journalism or portfolios, to the personal, like confession blogs or to express interest in a subject.  Unfortunately, not only did the article not go into subjects why do other people read those blogs, but it had a very limited selection.  They only spoke to a handful of blogs, and all of them had connections to Sanford.  This was probably to weed out smaller, unread blogs, but it still narrowed the response field by quite a lot.  They might have been better served by not only expanding the number of blogs they spoke to, but by looking at different sites by the most popular blogs, rather than those Sanford endorses and those closely connected to them.
