According to this article, there’s a blog posted every second. That’s 60 in one minute, 3600 in one hour, 86400 in one day. Seems about right. Somehow, I was expecting a lot more. Doesn’t everybody blog? Maybe, I’m just a geek living in the Silicon Valley. Maybe, the rest of the world are just not into this fad. Is it a fad? Is it here to stay?

A question should be asked as to why people blog. No matter what blogging means to anyone, it comes down to self-expression. It’s free speech, one of the liberties of our democracy. One of the reasons I blog is to improve my writing skills. I don’t expect to be famous. I don’t want to be famous. I write simply to improve my writing skills. I don’t care if my blogs are unread. In fact, I like them unread because popularity comes with unwelcomed spam. The important thing is, everytime I blog I learn a little bit more.
