Blogging is useless. It is wasteful. It is intellectual masturbation for non-intellectuals. It is psychology without a professional. It is excessive. It is dangerous.
But I like it. Yes I do.
I wanted to write a "Why I Blog" post, but I could not come up with any reason other than "Some times I want to bitch and complain."
Some times I want to bitch and complain, and that is good enough for me.
If you are an author though, it does seem to help sell books.
ReplyDeleteTC's talk at UC Davis about blogging was interesting on this front. If you don't have a book to sell, it has limited upsides.
