What are these blogs for techs !?

And in fact, why do experts need blogs? Immediately I warn readers: if you know the answer to this question from my old and very good friend, I advise you not to continue reading further. Something new is unlikely to know. However, despite the fact that interest in blogs has already reached its peak, and the blogosphere has a population of tens of millions, I constantly encounter the fact that many people do not understand the nature of this phenomenon. Among them are quite intelligent and educated people of all ages and regions of residence. My friend, to whom I wrote this letter, unfortunately applies to them. After reading an interesting discussion around the topic “1,000,000 today” (http://www.habrahabr.ru/blog/lj/11533.html), I understood that many current IT professionals share his opinion about the uselessness of blogs. So again, not to run into the friendly “Habracut!”, Which I (like hyperlinks), alas, do not always succeed, here I only put the abstract notes. Fully with her can be found in the blog on my site (http://www.itechbridge.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=15251)

You ask why I waste my time, strength and nerves on this useless “verbiage”. Well, well, I will try to answer. We are engineers with you, so, as is customary in our midst, I’ll sort everything out. Naturally, the shelves are mine, although their filling does not always shine with originality. After all, I am neither the first nor the last, who is trying to comprehend the phenomenon of blogging. So…

1. Why do people write blogs (general aspects)
')
1.1 Self-expression.
1.2. Feedback.
1.3. Communication
1.4. Pragmatics.

2. Why do people read blogs (general aspects)

2.1. And again, communication
2.2. And again self-expression.
2.3. Cognition and development.

3. Why professionals are not enough specialized publications

3.1. As an author, blogs can be useful, as they allow you to quickly, briefly and (which is extremely important!) To respond to this or that technological novelty, express your comments or ideas, discuss them with professionals in a fairly free style.
3.2. And, as an author, you can be attracted by the “unofficial” nature of blogs.
3.3. As for the reader, professional blogs can again be indispensable due to their speed. Plus, you get the opportunity to, practically, lively discussion of the problem that interests you.
3.4. And yet, as a reader, you do not need to be reminded that nothing stimulates new ideas like a good polemic led by a strong specialist (in our case, a blogger).

4. Why techies write and read not only technical blogs

4.1. Not a technician alive alive engineer.
4.2. Everything happens in life. Whether it is technical or domestic problems, health, or something else like this, each of us periodically faces a situation that is at this particular moment of interest for a relatively very narrow stratum of people.
4.3. In search of truth. No article or group of articles, no matter how well they are written, also will not allow you to try to get to the bottom of the truth, as a good blog with interesting and active readers can make it.
