Why do you blog?

This morning I was listening to @jaffejuice and @mitchjoel on the Jaffe Juice Podcast talking about whether or not it's too late to stake your claim in the social world. When they started talking about blogging and why they blog I thought it would be interesting to find out why other people blog. So today I didn't a little experiment. On twitter I asked: Why do you blog?

I left this an open question, not asked of anyone in particular, and pretty general to see what answer I would get.

Well, here is what I got.

• matt_gavenda: @akarlin I guess the question for me is, why don't I blog enough...but that's me. Why do you?
  
• JPeters1221: I have a wide range of opinions, and a big mouth. RT @akarlin: Why do you blog?
• pizzaNH: .@akarlin We blog because we love pizza and discovering new places, so why not be productive and write about it? :)
  

Not only are these are great and interesting answers. It makes me question why I blog. Unfortunately I don't blog enough but I do it when something moves me. Truthfully I'm a horrible writer so I try to write as little as possible. If I go on for pages, you really know it moved me. So that is why I blog.

So tell me, why do you blog?
