Why we read the blogs that we do?

Just like going through your phone-book can reveal alot about you so can your blogroll.The same way your potential girlfriend will want to know why you have 70% a female population in your phone book so will questions be raised about what you do on-line.This brings me to the question at hand,”why do we read the blogs that we do?”Can we relate to the bloggers?Are we just being courteous because they read our blogs?Do you wish you had a life like theirs?
