Why read other people’s weblogs?
Reading other people’s weblogs helps you to stay in contact with them and up to date with current news. For example I read my cousin’s blog to keep up to date with the happenings that go on in his life over the other side of the world. This blog is a way for him to share not just news but also thoughts and feelings on current issues. Many of his friends write back expressing their thoughts through comments. http://eliamariutti.spaces.live.com/blog/
