Why do people enjoy reading blogs? Especially the personal, opinionated ones.?

I can understand why people would enjoy writing blogs...it may be cathartic %26amp; a hassle free way of getting published. I can also see the point of expert blogs......but reading those 'daily dairy' type of blogs ??? Who is really interested?


What blogs do you read ?

Why do people enjoy reading blogs? Especially the personal, opinionated ones.?
I agree with you. some of those too opinionated and also foolish and without content. The only speciality is - newness of the concept. i stopped reading blogs sometime ago. there are other and more efficacious ways of informing oneself and enjoying content available. Besides all blogs are one way traffic.
Reply:I read my friends blogs... and I also visit blogs about stuff that I like to read about. I like to search fro Japanese blogs, cause they're always very creative and inspire me. Report It

Reply:To tell you the truth I really don't know the answer to your question, but then again I never did understand the fascination people have with soap operas, reading other people's private diaries or even some rather self promoting boring biographies. Maybe it's just that they are trying to equate their own life's experiences with that of others.
Reply:It takes your mind off of your own problems,and lets you know that other people are dealing with the same bs as us.
Reply:People has always the tendency to know about what plays in other minds. Reading other's diaries are that's why so popular. Today, people are spending more time on the computer and reading books and periodicals tend to take a backseat. Blog is a way to share one's views with others. Celebrity blogs and blogs dedicated to a specific target audience are more popular than others. People search out blogs that interest them. Being a content writer, I sometimes search out for blogs (any) and read them in order to brush up my style of writing. You may have your own reason.
Reply:probably the same reason people watch soaps and gossip. They are interested in how other people do what they do. I like information not gossip.
Reply:Sometimes an answer or a question intrigues you. If the person has a 360 page and a blog you can learn a little more about them. I think it's just interesting to see how people from different lifestyles think. You can visit my blog any time.
Reply:same reason.


different views.
Reply:the only blogs i read, are the ones posted by friends or people i know. you just learn a little something about that person or know how they are feeling. its interesting at times to know that someone else might be feeling like you do just when u think you are the only one....
