Why I blog

I get the question once in a while.
David, why do you blog…?
Yes, why do I? It’s actually a good question.
The first reason, reason 1: I like blogs, so I want to contribute!
I spend hours reading other people’s blogs… It’s a new great way of getting information from other people. Some blogs are personal and other are about things and interests. They are inspiring and informative. Even if they are about “things” they feel personal. .. . I would gladly meet all these people for a cup of coffee (or two) and discuss, share opinions and information. . . . But, since that’s not possible, I can share my thoughts, (hopefully) inspire some and contribute with my blog.
The second reason, reason 2: I want to write things “off me”.
It is easy to inspire me..
I can find a lot of things interesting. Right now I find technology trends extra interesting. Mobile industry and the rapid Software development give me some busy hours after work. There are not so many people around me that find the subject that interesting to talk about… So I use my blog to write these things “off me”.
The third reason, reason 3: The second thought
If you want to blog about a subject, you also need to give it a second (or third) thought. The world looks different when you walk around with a camera around your neck…
The third reason, reason 4: Control
With my own blog, published on the domain of my family I feel safe. My word is mine. Even if my site is mirrored and stored on Google, Yahoo and so on I still have the control of the database and all the files. I also upload images to my site and they are copyrighted by me and only me
However, i don’t blog because i want attention… I don’t care if I have one million visitors per day or just a few… The joy is all about contribution to the great world of blogs…
