Why do people blog?

I think part of the reasons why people blog is to release the burden that's inside them. Perhaps, to let everyone know how do they feel, happiness, angst, and craziness. Or maybe to let share their learnings in life. What do you think?

I think it's a combination of therapy to get things off their chest and the ability to say anything they want to complete strangers. Who cares what they say because the stranger will never be meeting up with the blogger, right? So there's no tensions about being correct or proper, etc. It's definitely therapeutic for many.

blogging is just like writing a diary. and people find it easier to maintain a blog rather than a diary. it is also a good thing to share with people, the things one has done and read. it also serves as an outlet for venting out anger, happiness and other emotions.

People blog because they have stories to tell and they want to share it. :) Moreover, it can be your outlet to blurt out all your unkempt emotions freely. It's just good to have listeners, the readers. :)

There are many different reason why most of us blog. For me, it helps to get that anger and frustration out. For other they are just talking about some product that they are somewhat affiliated with. Who know really why alot of us do it. I think it's a good way to keep that stress away. Or maybe they,.. rather we do it because... well It's fun to be noticed and seen.
