Why blog?

I'm sure you've heard the old riddle - If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound? Some folks wonder if they do write a blog and no one reads it, is it a blog? Should they waste their time and energy to put their ideas out there is there is no recipient for those ideas. With the rapid proliferation of blogs, this is a legitimate question.

In my opinion the primary beneficiary of a blog is the author. Putting your thoughts down to its simplest form brings great clarity. Plus there is a snowball effect, once you put ideas your ideas down, you inevitably think of new ones. Which brings me to another cliché - When a Butterfly flaps its wings it will create a disturbance that can cause huge turbulence. Sometimes simply writing your thoughts in the form of a blog can be the stimulus for disruptive breakthroughs.
