If you haven't been in a hole you probably know by now that blogging has taken the internet by storm. Professionals to ordinary people like me have helped feed this new wave of self expression and freedom of thought and speech. Well, the biggest question in the world "What has made blogging such a big thing". I have compiled a few points that are my personal opinions to why blogging has become so popular.
We as human beings are curious. We like to know what people are thinking, good or bad. Blogging is a way for people to speak up about their opinions on things ranging from news, life, clothing, religion, technology, etc. Anything that you can think of probably somewhere on the net is a blog that someone has posted about it on what they think of it. Granted we don't always have the same view points, but it's the fact that we are able to get a glimpse into someone else's idea on a subject is fascinating just in its self.
The next point is that blogging is a way for us to vent either to a specific people or person about how we feel about a subject or occurrences in the world. Some people know that their blogs won't ever be seen by anymore than just random web surfers or by maybe a family member or friend, but it is the fact that they can spread their opinion on the net is all that matters to them.
For my third and final point, blogging and reading blogs is addictive. I can't really explain it, but for you that understand what I'm talking about you know what I mean. There is something about setting down with a cup or earl grey and laying back in your big comfy leather chair or setting at your desk or even on your bed propped up or wherever it is you do your blogging/blog readings and just enjoying what other people have written on a subject or random thing that interests you.
Those are just a few reasons I believe blogging has taken the internet by storm. Of course I have several other ideas, but those are the major ones. I believe blogging is an awesome way for people to interact, gain ideas, analyze opinions, or just write down your thoughts about the day.
As far as why I blog, I blog for a couple reasons. I am doing it as a research project just to see how over the years when I look back how much my opinion on a matter has changed or my writing style, my approach, my beliefs, likes, dislikes change. I also blog because It is a way for me to give my thoughts on a matter. A place for me to rant and rave about how much I dislike or like something. But mostly a place for me to state what matters most to be, my opinions on something.
This (Blogging) is a movement of whatever it is you feel moved to post about.
