Why I still blog

I currently blog for more personal reasons. I used to blog a lot because of what I learned and felt like sharing. Now it’s more for capturing certain moments in my life and remembering them.

The Internet is full of blogs about all sorts of topics. I am not sure if every niche has been filled. But I wonder if too many blogs just add to the noise and filters like RSS Readers (which give recommendations, etc.) are getting saturated by so much content.

I also blog because I need to interact, somehow. Even on a relatively passive manner, I must interact with others. Over the past how many months, I’ve become more introverted than ever (even though some of you might not believe it). As such, this blog as well as my food blog and my LJ keep the rest of the world in the know.

There’s also my Linux blog on b5. I like blogging there because I know what it’s like to be a new Linux user and I still feel it sometimes. I get some emails correcting my posts or feedback that they have interesting ideas to share and it’s a learning experience for me. It’s not easy to maintain several blogs but it is still fun.

And I still have some personal projects which I need to blog about. Someday soon, I know I will. That’s another reason for blogging. Blogs enable people to give feedback even if you don’t personally know them.
