Seth Godin wonders why people continue to blog even when outsiders will hardly ever get a chance to read it. That’s a very critical question for InteractiveDaily which has only recently begun to be updated regularly. Despite my efforts at submitting stories to Digg and Reddit, I haven’t gotten a single comment yet. I’m getting somewhat compulsive at tracking visitors though, I think I visit Google Analytics every hour.

In some ways, I think I write because of the need to write myself “into being” which Lynette Webb at FutureLab wrote about recently.

She quotes Danah Boyd’s essay that “Jenny Sundén (2003) argues that, in order to exist online, we must write ourselves into being. From the flow of text in chatrooms to the creation of Profiles, people are regularly projecting themselves into the Internet so that others may view their presence and interact directly with them. Social network sites take this to the next level because participants there write their community into being through the process of Friending”.

I guess at the end of the day, I’m just looking to validate my existence online through befriending others.

I’m also very excited about the online advertising industry which is experiencing phenomenal growth. Being situated in one of the top agencies in this field helps as well as I’m right in the thick of it, working on campaigns for some major advertisers, thinking about online marketing strategy and actually being able to measure its effectiveness.

So I think the answer to Seth’s question is: Yes, this blog exists even if no one is reading if just for the sake of validating my own existence.
