Why Blog?

Christopher Carfi pointed me to this essay by Chris Brogan titled Cavemen at the Fire that captures the essence of the “why” of blogging for so many of us:

But the truth is, I'm getting value. I get value in talking with you. I've met so many engaging people, and every time one of you risks delurking and sending me an email, I meet a new friend….  I feel that every day I post something new is another micro resume. I'm telling people out there what I stand for, how I think, what matters most to me. Some days, that's probably not going to land me a job. Other days, it's something that people might relate to.
