Blogging

So why do we do it?

Dooce does it because she's freakin hilarious. They do a BlogHer conference to promote women who blog. I think it's great.

But how much of the really big huge blogs are real? I read a lot of blogs, and most of the ones that I do tend to read a bunch of are typically Dad Blogs - how to be a better parent, how to make life better so your wife doesn't strangle you, what's happening in my life that I want to share - but my point is, why do people blog?

Truthfully, and people try to convince me otherwise, I blog for two reasons:

1. I blog because I like to write and it helps me to bring my brain together when I need to
2. I blog because I like hearing from people. Especially ones I haven't spoken to in a long time and ones I've never met

Do I think I will have the readership or the revenue stream of Dooce? No, of course not.(Tho, come on, you know that would be ultra freakin cool.) Plus I think I'd have to actually advertise on my site to actually see any revenue coming in.

I think that I have already found two cool guys in similar situations who are doing it for the same reasons - to share experiences and to find other people of like minds. Check out the blogroll, it's Mike @ Unraveling Mysteries andRaging Dad. Give them both a read, pretty cool.
