What are blogs good for

Scoble is completely right about why people should blog- Let your friends know what you're up to. When you have a busy life, it's too hard to stay in touch with people you don't see regularly, like Sean or M3 -- or friends in Japan I haven't seen in years like Hasegawa-san. What cares what we talk about. It's just way more interesting to see what matters to my friends than to read the same old news every day.
