Why I am a Blogger
I’m a blogger because I set up this account. That´s the most boring exlanation.My true motivation for blogging is (hopefully) a bit more exciting…
I have been reading blogs on a regular basis for a few years and was fascinated by the idea from the beginning. I love technology and I love people. That´s why it was quite an intriguing concept to me, that blogs as opposed to websites do not just post information but start a conversation.
Another reason is, that I have always loved to share facts and knowledge and to learn from others.

I guess I should use a blogroll or a social bookmarking service since there have been quite a few others which I don’t want to list for purpose of readability of this post. The impulse to get started with my own blog came a few days ago, after reading an Article by Andrew Sullivan in “The Atlantic” titled “Why I blog”.
