Why Blog?

(note, this is a repost from 2007, but I still find it current.)

Each year, TIME magazine names someone the “person of the year.” In the past, it’s been John Paul II, the Gates family, former mayor Guiliani, MLK and now it’s You.

“This is an opportunity to build a new kind of international understanding, not politician to politician, great man to great man, but citizen to citizen, person to person. It’s a chance for people to look at a computer screen and really, genuinely wonder who’s out there looking back at them. Go on. Tell us you’re not just a little bit curious.” -Time

So why blog? I’m curious, it’s really just as simple as that. The beauty of web 2.0 is that it gives each one of us a chance to make our mark on the ‘net, and hopefully a few lives.
