Until there was one, there were none. Why do people blog? Actually we dont know but we have a funny suspicion that it has got to do with something heavy called ego. In the past before the Internet came, if you want to have yourself heard, you just have to finance your own publication or get to know a publisher. If not, your voice is but one squeak in the wilderness.

Then, the whole scenario changed. In 1990s thereabouts, thye world opened up. The Internet came and any asshole who know how to log on quickly did two things their forefathers would be extremely proud of. To sign up with an email service (Hotmail) and add that in their business cards - and to own a website. At that time, everything was free as big players saw the importance of communities and opened up web real estate. And we had Geocities.com, and any bastard who knew what HTML was quickly started a website, albeit free. And Geocities was proven right, having been bought over by Yahoo. And the proliferation of personal sites matched the self-adulation across the cyberspace.

Then couple of years down the line, blog software inventors saw the nasty narcisstic streak in this gregarious habits of netizens and decided to come up with free blog-wares for you to publish your thoughts and all the verbal diarrhoea. And the blogosphere was born.

But whr do people blog? Well, to tell you thr truth, we dont really know. But it looks like blogs are going to become the new media…
