More on blogs

Florist asks (asked) similar questions, and expresses similar sentiments, here and here.

And Satya responds, succintly, so:

My blog is a place for me to get thoughts onto "paper". In the absence of a blog, I'd be bugging people with the same stuff, in real time (which is precious), and repeating myself (did I remember to tell you...?). It's also a place to leave notes for myself -- the future me, whether next day or next decade. Of course, I could email notes to myself instead, but, as with the Rails stuff, it's out there for the googling lost programmer to find.

And, of course, fame and fortune.
