This author notes that several people use and keep blogs, yet little research has been explored as to why people do this. The authors surveyed 212 blog users and found that 78% of the bloggers enjoy the ease of use and the knowledge sharing aspects of the form, they also comment on an innate social aspect of blogging - that a network of "friendship" is built among the blogger and her readers.
