Why We Blog

Writing in November’s The Atlantic, Andrew Sullivan describes his experiences in blogging. He notes that his blog has porous borders and is accountable to readers and other bloggers. He compares blogging to an extreme sport, free-form and less formal. He says “Blogging is writing out loud.” Sullivan claims that blogging has exposed a “hunger and need” for traditional writing.

Thanks for reading!
