why do i blog?

to share information

ppl read... and so do i... and if i find something interesting... i tell my friends... why? 'cos i like the share what i've read and their their views... and such a discussion gives a perspective of the topic...
i believe in sharing information... i see no good happening with hiding information... my boss and some of my peers disagree with me... they claim that specialized knowledge should not be disclosed... or something like that... you know.. the whole intellectual property thing...
like my cus would always paste a link from youtube... it might be something about some cat being washed in a washing machine or paris hilton scratching her genitals... hehe
ppl fwd e-mails... most of it is junk... but some are interesting... i've this friend who sends lame ass ppt slideshows of cats and dogs... but once every 10,000,000 e-mails there'll be something interesting... like fish :) hehe
so i see blogging as a menifestation of that same psyche

to share views about various issues

ppl have views on various topics like politics, economics etc... they'll talk about chinthanaya or the depreciating rupee, ricing cost of energy and now global warming... pffft...
again... a blog is another media where ppl get to express their views...

to make money?

if there is significant traffic... and then why not make a buck of out of it... is that such a bad thing? but i've not placed any ads... i dont have much traffic...

to bitch about stuff

ya like say someone says something really lame on TV... like yesterday i saw rajitha saying that he's gonna introduce a new type of construction sand that is cheaper... and when it compares to fresh water sand... the volume needed is much less... which defies the purpose... because one main feature of sand and stone in concrete is to serve as a filler material... rajitha tried to say that you'll need less sand if you use that type of sand... but apparently it doesnt behave like that... it has similar volumetric properties of sand... but its much cheaper...

notice to all kottu visitors

you are most welcome to visit my blog... read whatever that i've written, copy-pasted or whatever... see... i knew that some of you would say stuff (refer the anonymous comments)... so i stopped my feed till late last night... so that this would fall to the second page but apparently it had not!!! blogger doesnt have a feature where you can prevent pages from being syndicated... and i'm switching to drupal this weekend...
i dont revolve around kottu.org (although i had kottu from kottu king for dinner last night... and it was a rip off... gihan's kottu is better!)
and i didnt post this blog to counter voice... ppl have been asking "why do you blog? are you fucking jobless or something"... and voice is right... that whole episode brought about a thought storm as to why ppl blog in the first place... and since i'm the bad guy now for bitching about voice... i thought i'd explain why i blog...
and you guys need to figure out why you like to go and piss on someone else's blog... if its 'cos you get some sick pleasure out of it... then screw you!!! i hope you get some sorta permanent explosive diarrhea!!!
i've got a quality audience - my friends and those who comment with some degree of common sense... i dont need lame ass loser traffic... so fucking piss off!!!
