Subscribing to Blogs? Why?

Time flying,

          What ya doing,
Reading someones blog,
     Things to do ... waiting.

So much to do,
           What ya doing,
Reading blogs,
      Why? ... What is the point?


With the limited amount of time each of us has, I just don't get why anyone would subscribe to a blog.  It is obvious that people do but I cannot understand it.

Having said this looking at blogs, blog readers, and blog indexes is interesting.  I think I prefer to read the blogs outside of the reader though.  The reader distorts the posts and makes it so boring to read.  I like it better when the posts and the pictures interface together.
In looking though various blogs on both genealogy and school librarianship, I notice I tend to choose those which look more like the magazines that I enjoy reading and less like personal writing stories or prompts.  For instance, I quite enjoyed reading some articles in the magazine Teacher Librarian and the blog is similar. I also like Lemme Library.  Though how anyone could ever find a particular post idea for use at a later time baffles me.  I know I could never remember what date the post appeared.

I like how blogs connect from one to another.  It is a nice thing to use those links to find other information.  It would be nicer if one could be sure of a blogs veracity.  I just don't understand why anyone would care what some stranger says without references.
