Blogs

I wonder why do people make blogs. Why do people want others all over the world to know what is happening or they are thinking about in their lives? Some have interesting times like a guy's blog I happened across from when he was an exchange student in Japan.
Recently I've read about a few Chinese blogs. I found out that China even has an annual award for English language Chinese blogs. I know that some marketing companies have made fake blogs to advertise for their client.

As for me. I just blog because I keep losing my journal.
