The 90-10

What necessarily is a blog? Can you think of one way to describe it? I don’t think so because every blog is different, but one component I believe is always used is the ninety percent storytelling from experiences and ten percent gathered information from credible gossip, stats and news articles. It might not always be 90-10, but storytelling from experiences does make up a large percent of a blog. Each blog I have read has an opinion that is supported by a few links and a life experience. Many who contribute to this blog use a large percentage of storytelling in their entries. Why does an experience always find its way into a blog? Does it make for an interesting read or a credible opinion? I do believe experiences make reading blogs interesting and all the storytelling only adds to the personality of the blog. It makes wanting to return to a blog a pleasure and not a chore.
