what makes you want to blog, anyway?

i read a post on one of my favorite blogs today. check it out here:
Mad Babble From A Church Planter...: Might be the medicine...

i wonder what it is that makes us all want to blog anyway. i can think of a few reasons that would make sense:

• communication with a group of people all at once (like a lead pastor communicating with the people in the church)


• outlet for those who enjoy entertaining others


• a place for arguers to thrive


• if no one listens to you in person - maybe they'll listen online


• for those who used to keep a scrapbook on all they do - blogging is easier


• sharing of ideas with others with similar interests so no one has to reinvent the wheel, and to foster a creative synergy

any other ideas? any thoughts on any of the list above?
