What are blogs for? (again)
In a conversation I was asked

It seems that most people use it socially. If you use messenger & contacts say "hi what have you been up to?", you tell them, then the next person comes on line & asks the same question. You could write in here the day’s story, you can save yourself the trouble of repeating yourself, AND they are more likely to ask a more interesting question to do with your entry. You know.. they might therefore ask – "how exactly did you get the dog off the roof & is he scared of you now?" So use your blog to fill people in.
