Why on Earth Do Girls Blog?

I thought it would be a wonderful thing to find an answer. The most obvious answer was 'money'. I thought everyone liked to make money blogging. Was I wrong? Yes!

I looked not just into girlie blogs, but also of guys and ladies too. I first come across the tail of a long girl blog ME-ME, at Life's What We Make of It, where you can see a long list of reasons why girls blog. Though links to other blogs are not available, the overdose of 'philosophy', 'spreading literature instincts', 'feeling nice' and 'making others happy' are more than visible. Strangely, moneymaking is not a priority for more than 20 bloggers.

Do you feel surprised if a blogger named Jay Westerdal has started blogging in an effort to bring in transparency to domain industry? How can you know the whereabouts of domain landlords, if there is no transparency in bidding for domains? I feel it a legit reason to blog.

Goofy Andie () says she gets more focused when she blogs.

Needless to say blogging is the highest form of personal expression. I think this is true for more than 90% of bloggers out there.

Personally, blogging gives an ego-boost, however hard you resist that argument. If you like to read the thoughts of more bloggers why they blog, look here, here or here.

Bloggers enjoy blogging as a tool for self-expression and for an ego boost. Ego boosters for bloggers are higher Technorati.com authority, higher number of Feed subscribers and the higher number of comments they have in their blogs.
