Who are the bloggers?

Jeff Jarvis at BuzzMachine has a very interesting (and long) post about who the bloggers are.

After reading the post I tried to think why I blog myself. I’m just newbie and nothing compared the OG bloggers who has been around for years. I don’t claim to be a journalist or a writer. I know my posts won’t change opinion or the world. I donät have that many visitors and I don’t think I have one single link to my blog. So really why do I like to blog then? It’s simple. I like to write. I started to keep a journal in my early teens and I still do. As a child and teenager I also wrote a lot of stories. And I have to admit that for a long, long time I dreamt about becoming an author. I still do, but now it’s just one of those silly dreams one has. Still, keeping a journal and blogging is my way to be creative. I can do and write about whatever I like. My friends, who are spread all over the world, also gets a chance to find out what their crazy Swedish friends is up to or think about different things. Blogging can sometimes be a bit exposing, but as my Texas friend Steph once said: Reading a blog is to get to know a person. So I guess you are all getting to know me pretty well by now…
