Anyone want to argue why you should NOT blog? I'm debating starting to blog, but as a startup founder I'd rather put every minute into improving my company - or is writing a blog going to improve my company? Thoughts?

Say something stupid and the rest of the world gets to see it. Write about a particular belief or political stance and it may come back at you.

Start a journal and keep that for a month. If you like it and can devote time, then think about making it public.

Few people are able to blog and then _not_ worry about who's reading it and who isn't, why there aren't any comments or there are some hostile/stupid ones, etc. etc. This can become a major source of distraction, and for some, obsession.
