Maybe because - by nature - I am an introvert, but blogging has never really appealed to me.
It is a great tool to use when you're involved with a committee. You can toss up an idea to your fellow committee members (read bloggers) and post minutes or ask questions that need answers quickly. Yahoo Groups was a bit of a forerunner in this realm in that you could post comments, ideas, etc. and send emails to fellow participants.
I Googled blogs and found Google Blog Search. Clicking there brought up a list of various blogs on various topics. There are 160 blogs that discuss New York Gov. David Paterson's decision to name Kirsten Gillilbrand to the U.S. Senate, and the announcement came just a few hours before. Kelly Osbourne heading back to rehab is mentioned on 39 blogs. The fact that President Obama headlined several Italian newspapers was the subject of 16 blogs.
Some people simply copy and paste news stories found on various news agencies' websites. The ones that truly confound me are the people who post the minutiae of their lives on the World Wide Web.
