I got curious.
And did a web search for the etymology of the word “blog” finding out that it was the shortened version of Weblog.

Developed only in 1993 and shortened to blog in 1994 – funnily enough I was one of the first persons who wasn’t in a business of all the people I knew to rent a computer back in 1991 – its’ meaning has evolved over time from being something more personal, or an online diary if you will, to being a vital instrument of businesses.
Personally, I blog simply because I enjoy doing so, sometimes mind assume the function more of a personal journal, sometimes I am feeling philosophical, sometimes there is a word that hits my eye and I feel propelled to expound.
Why put it out there? Probably simply because one can.
