It puzzles me why personal blogs are so attractive. Even though Big Brother is a very good example that humans are just dying to know about others' personal lives. I wouldn't be watching that, but I'm surely hooked a bit on your blog for example, maybe because of the writing style, maybe because by reading somebody's personal experiences you feel closer to having some sort of "part-time friend" (as we previously discussed :P). In the end, it's not that we don't have enough time to do something, it's just that we don't want it hard enough to <b>make</b> time for that.

It depends on the type of blog, of course, but for a blog like mine, for example, it's more like - I blog therefore I exist. I'd also like to add that sometimes we don't blog simply because we prefer not to share some aspects of our lives. We have time, we also have a life, true, to we write about other things - like the weather. More precisely, I'd rather not talk about my job or my personal life in detail. Or vice versa - Not blogging doesn't necessarily mean that you have a life. It's a matter of how you divide and manage your time.
