The other day one journalist asked me why I blog. It was funny because he was asking why I had not updated my blog. So my answer was; why do you visit my blog?
It was a valid question, which I never thought about. Since then, I have been wondering why I blog.
I blog in exercise of my freedom of expression; here no one can limit what I say, whether it toes the party line or not; its my opinion and it remains that way.
I blog because I love pointing out issues; mostly the ones that are not going right, just like most journalists.
I blog because it is a chance for me to vent my frustrations.
I blog because it is the only way people can learn more about various issues; not structured by the media or held down by requirements of editorial correctness.
I blog because technology is one of those boring issues that is tough for us to write about.
But most of all, I blog because I love writing!
I can go on and on........

Nicely put! I'd say I blog for the very same reasons that you do but mostly because I love to write too!
That's nicely put, Rebs! I think you're so fascinated by writing anything technology-related, and that's a very good thing!
The world needs to hear voices like yours, particularly coming from our continent.
In your writing and blogging:
- fear not to challenge us
- give us the other view
- extol that which is done right
- just write what you like (remember Steve Biko's column collections called "I write what I like"?)
Keep on writing!
I read your blog because I like to snoop around Great Writers:-).
Very Interesting,Informative & Well researched. Very good blog you have here Wanjiku, Thanks for making us love being geeky!
