Blog ‘because it is what you want to do for you’

Om Malik discussing “pure blogging” versus having a goal of a big audience and I would add making money:

Blogging is an individual and, I would say, selfish act — you do it because it is what you want to do for you. Pure blogging is “blogging” because you have something to say. To me, that ability is what makes you a pure blogger. Any other explanation of blogging “is just the traditional idea of media,” meant for an audience and reach.

I hadn’t before thought of blogging as a selfish act but I think Malik is right about this. I wonder what others think.
