<p>Sorry, I haven't really caught on the blog bandwagon. What's the deal with them and why have they become so popular? </p>

<p>I'd like to get some more info on blogs, so could anyone give me links to popular blogs that they like for news, sports, whatever. Thanks.</p>

<p>Why do people like blogs? They're a ticket into somebody else's private life.</p>

3

<p>It's just a trend that no one will remember in 5 or 6 years.</p>

4

<p>Blogs are easy to make and update.</p>

5

<p>well the trends been riding well for the past 2 yrs atleast...lets see how long it lasts... lol</p>

6

<p>Because people want to have a "voice" and they want to be heard... and in life sometimes we don't get to express ourselves as much as we would like to.</p>

7

<p>Blogs and the people who react to them are cheaper than a session with a shrink...</p>

<p>blogs have been around for a loooooooooooooong time (relatively). they've just gotten popular recently.</p>

<p>and they're addicting.</p>

11

<p>Could anyone give me links to good news blogs, sports blogs, and blogs like that?</p>

12

<p>well livejournal has some rss feeds for news and the like</p>

<p>blogspot probably has some new/sports specific blogs</p>

<p>if you're looking for specific teams or news casts, you're best bet would be to go to their websites and dig around for some. (and on a college note: some schools have students write blogs for the website so you can get a feel for what life is like at that school)</p>

<p>I blog to show people pictures of where I go since I travel quite a bit.</p>

<p>Writing is therapeutic. Also,</p>

<p>And I will admit it, it makes me feel important.</p>

<p>I opened a blog to record my statements and to write down ideas that I might have. Same as a journal except I can edit. My findings are also shared so it makes it easier. </p>
