BLOGGING AS A WAY TO THINK BY WRITING |
A number of informants reported that they blogged as an “outlet” for thoughts and feelings. Sometimes the blog content was patently emotional, Another blogger in our study titled her blog “Shout.” She wrote about legal matters of concern to her such as the misapplication of the death penalty. Blogs supported the working out of “issues” that authors felt “obsessive” or “passionate” about. They gave people with deep feelings a place to “shout” or express themselves through writing to an audience.

Personal webpages often perform in a similar way, but the audience is far less defined. In our study, bloggers had "regulars" who they knew were reading their posts. The writing could be directed at them, solving one of the key problems of any writing, i.e., knowing who to write for. The fact of having an audience would keep the writing moving along, as the author knew that people were anticipating new posts.
