What drives our Blogs?

It is unfortunate... but we have a country that's pumping out techies in thousands every day so I guess it's inevitable. We certainly need more blogs on nobler causes.

Its because the blogging revolution hasn't spread to the masses of India. Its mainly the techies who blog & I suppose most techies too are drawn to blogging due to the monitory gains. 

While there are a few others, they remain heavily outnumbered. Also many college students (except tech streams) who are computer literate don't seem to be interested in taking the pains to pen their thoughts down. And it's a known fact that to build an opinionated blog requires a long term commitment.

Last but not the least is an inadequate infrastructure that keeps the people away from this profession. Lack of technical know-how & support is also a big factor.

I guess its got more to do with motivation.. and I believe the blogosphere is changing faster now.. In my college, in the last few months the number of blogs has skyrocketed and none of those blogs is a tech blog.. That's why I don't think we are "cursed" by too many tech blogs...

Regarding what drives our blogs, I'd like to say that I blog just for the sake of expressing myself, but I'd be lying if I said that I'd not be disturbed if very few people read it or comment on what I write..
