What makes a person blog?
Dave Taylor "Why do people blog, and how many of us are there?" Intuitive.com April 23, 2007
Before this class i had no idea what a blog was. I mean I'm pretty sure I've seen the word, but never did I actually take the time to investigate it. My question is why do people blog and what do they get out of it?? In the article Taylor expresses his feelings on Blogging.

"In terms of why people blog, well, my belief is that it's to have a voice, however small. To think that just like the people who write those fancy opinion columns for The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, you too can share your thoughts, vent, and complain to the public at large. Having said that,there are lots of really smart bloggers who have interesting perspectives on the news, politics, sports, business, etc., people who wouldn't otherwise be heard in mainstream media."
Ssooo... there you have it! The reason behind why people Blog, its a way to express your feelings regardless of how it is taken by others.

A good post. There are many reasons for blogging. You have raised a key reason: Blogging allows everyone to have a voice, to express their opinion. Blogging is very much an outlet for individual opinion.
There are of course many other motives as well. For example: political campaigning, corporate communications, public relations, marketing, military blogs, family blogs, etc.
