it seems the debate about the death of blogging just won’t die out, but this post by Tim Bray is a great. I completely agree with everything:
- that the main reasons for someone to blog are:
- Money.
- You love writing.
- To influence.
- To entertain.
- To inform.
- that people who have always written stuff are mainly those who can’t not to
- and the following quote sum’s it up:
I don’t know of any way to be influential without deploying some combination of rhetoric and polemic and storyline. And I don’t think you can do that without writing a few hundred words, organized into paragraphs, with a permalink.
