@dnnyboy to think, share and still own/control my ideas

@dnnyboy to share #science content w/friends/fam & show underserved audiences that WE have a place in #STEM landscape #scio12

@dnnyboy @mistersugar I blog because you don't really know anything until you can explain it to someone else.

@dnnyboy I've got to get the stuff out of my head somehow. It's crowded in here. #scio12

@dnnyboy "I became a writer because my [grandfathers] wrote. And then, with the Web, I became a blogger." http://bit.ly/bOCF5m #scio12

@dnnyboy More about why I blog is in this post & prezi, http://bit.ly/wXO784

.@dnnyboy i blog to stay in the discourse on my topics bc the long projects i do wld keep me out of the conversation otherwise @mistersugar

@dnnyboy blog to communicate, raise questions from my often diff perspective, educate, share, occ defuse; engage. Feels good ; > ) #scio12

@dnnyboy: Why do YOU blog? To have my own online platform for my thoughts. So many possibilities with the huge human audience #scio12

@dnnyboy I can't help myself - need to write, contribute to the community #scio12

@BoraZ @dnnyboy #scio12 because I have something to say, and because it's fun.

@boraz @dnnyboy The question today should be more like: "Why DON'T you blog?" #scio12

@BoraZ @dnnyboy I blog to inspire #scio12

@BoraZ @dnnyboy Blogging = fun, effective way to talk about sci/tech in accessible language, while highlighting import/context.

@dnnyboy Blogging is another way to write. Writing on something is the best way to learn about the subject. #scio12

@Dnnyboy i blog to share ideas, clarify by writing and in the comments and responses of my peers cc @BoraZ

@dnnyboy Helps me work through ideas & then refine them through responses from friends+commenters. Also to learn to be a better writer.

I blog bc I am a compulsive writer w/advocate, didactic, &argumentative tendencies&wanting to contribute to community @BoraZ @dnnyboy

@dnnyboy I blog to have a voice in the discussions, to express long-form thoughts, and to skip the middleman. #scio12

@dnnyboy To provide an interesting source of accurate sci stories for general readers. To practice writing. Because I'm addicted. #scio12

@dnnyboy blogging is teaching, whether it's yourself or others, and that's the best feeling in the world

@ejwillingham @BoraZ @dnnyboy I continue for similar reasons to Emily (am not a full-time writer like E; wld work on improving if had time!)

@ejwillingham @BoraZ @dnnyboy How I started: a comment I wrote was so long & detailed it was held up & asked to be a guest post! :)

@dnnyboy too late? I blog to save things I want to share with others over & over, like "what I think of Google Scholar" http://cogscilibrarian.blogspot.com/2011/03/google-scholar-you.html
