Why We Blog Response

After reading Why We Blog, I understand that even though people say they will blog about one topic he or she normally gets off topic and ends up blogging about personal ideas or emotions. I think this is even more relevant now because people are starting to blog more often. Blogging is almost used now as social media. I think it would be hard to blog and not put some personal ideas on the page or vent about your bad or good test score. I know I need to vent to a friend sometimes and if a friend isn't available then social media normally is my outlet, unfortunately. Many people vent on social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook, but if one does not utilize that media then he or she could likely vent on a blog. However, since most blogs do not have any interactivity most people are not too aware of who their readers are.
Different people are motivated in different ways to write about different things. For example, some people are motivated to blog because it can be used as an community forum, but some people can be motivated to blog by expressing deep emotions. These motivations will cause differences in the topic of the blog. Obviously, a blog that is used as a community forum will be read differently than one written by someone expressing their emotions and will have different readers.
Each blog is different because no two people write the same. Blogs are a more personal medium of writing and can be used in a variety of ways.
