Why Blog? Please tell me

    Ok first and foremost, I will let you know I love reading blogs and google reader make this a snap. Most of all I love reading blogs of folks in open source. don’t understand why but I just do, it’s a great past time for me. All of them have so much to say and I am now trying to delve into this arena with this modest blog.

I was reading over on pthree the post of why blog, cause google might hire you and got to thinking, does anyone else do this? Apple, Yahoo, Microsoft do you? Sun, Novell, how about you. what criteria do you guys use when contacting bloggers? and why do you contact bloggers? what do bloggers hold over others? if anything? please try to understand the underlying question of Why Blog???
