Blogging about blogging

So blogging about blogging is a little strange but let's see how it goes. I never thought it was a big deal but apparently a lot of people do it. The article we read for class today made me realize that the big popular blog sites may have been started by average people. I don't know what the benefits of having a huge following is unless you can get those people to take action for a good cause but there are huge followings. Some say it's a great way to socialize. But on the other side the more followers you have he less time you can spend with each one. The article also mentioned that one blogger's blog got so popular that she disabled the comment option on her blog. There was no way to read all the comments she was getting.
There are definitely changing mindsets on the whole thing. I feel like I'm in the middle. Stuck between the old farts who couldn't find and read a blog even if they wanted to and the kids who are addicted to blogging. I've always wanted to start one but never thought talking about my interest or daily life was interesting enough to post for the world to read. If a lady commenting on Project Runway can get thousands of followers then may be someone will find me interesting too. If they do then what's the point? What is the purpose of blogging? Will it make me feel better to expose my feelings to the whole world rather than just writing in a diary like a normal person. Will having thousands of followers make me feel better about myself? Why blog?
May be I'll meet someone or someones, start a group and change the world. Probably not. I don't know if I care enough about anything to commit and organize something like that. May be someone will share a link or information with me so I can join up with a group who is saving the world. I don't know. May be everyone needs to have their string thrown into the world wide web and this blog is mine (although I think facebook is a little more connected than this at the moment). That's kind of a cool idea. I think I'll end with that.
