Top 5 reasons to start a Blog
For all the people who are still reading blogs and still wondering whether to start a blog or not, Madhur has listed Top 5 reasons why you should be starting a blog.

People bandy the word “top” around a lot. If one had “research”, “evidence”, or “facts”, then I wouldn’t be writing this. What the blooger had was really “His Top 5 reasons”. No research, evidence, or facts to substantiate that title.
So, I’ll just give my opinion which is just as valid. Maybe less so, since no one reads me, except 3 relatives and 3 friends. (Yes, I have three friends — OLDEST, OLDER, and just OLD!) Oh, and yeah, that nice spammer who keeps placing all those excellent comments wanting to enlarge a body part that polite people don’t discuss. (Think he will get the idea since ZERO of his comments have slipped thru moderation. Has to be a bot; no one is that persistently annoying. Not even me! Even so, running a bot has to cost something.)
My Top Five Reasons To Start A Blog
(5) You have nothing else to do. Just as “a boat is a hole in the water into which you throw money”, so to “a blog is just a hole in the internet into which you throw time”. (Made that up all by myself!)
(4) You think that you can earn a buck drawing readers and selling advertising.
(3) You can sell your version of the “great american invention” for 19.99 if people would just listen.
(2) You can have that next great job served to you on a silver platter when an employer read your witty insightful drek.
(1) If the Universe is truly one song, then you want to sing yours in such a way that it is never lost. Each of us has unique insights that we have a moral obligation to pass along. Sort of like the frozen mountain climber’s body on Everest warning the next climber of danger. The internet is the closest thing to immortality that we’ll ever have. The pharos had their pyramids. The Eskimos had their totem poles. We have blogs. Your words will live forever,
