People are looking for the opportunity to tell their stories in a mediated forum to a potentially large, though distant and invisible, audience (which has to do with self-expression/validation). At the same time, blogs are obviously meant to be read in some way. Lots of bloggers monitor the number of people who come to their site and encourage users to post comments about their initial postings.
I recently read an article where a researcher noted, "intelligent commentary on a video could stimulate closer social connections, if the video maker continues to communicate with and interact with the poster of the commentary".
True, but not always the case.
