I will analyse how I ended in blogspot.
Basically man desire is to keep a log for himself. Long ago, when captains used to sail the oceans they used to keep logs. That journey could take months even years.
Log is kind of a diary. When we grow up to around 14 or 15 y.o we start keeping diary. I also kept a diary but there was a problem. Diary can be read. You keep it in cupboard. Someone has access to your cupboard and can read it. You keep it in schoolbag. Someone in school may read it in your absence.
Thus I got rid of the diary. Then it was after I moved into hostel. People may observe what you're doing and then may say that you are writing diary and you feel bad and then stop writing. That is what happened in my case. But then you need to maintain how much you're spending. For that expenses you may write in diary. You may not write stories or experiences but you have to write that I spent 50 rupees or 100 rupees. Bus tickets, lunch, cinema tickets etc. Then you may get casual and not maintain any expense report and then diary habit will fade away.
Then again you may relocate to another place and new requirement may force you to keep expense report (preferably in diary) again.
Then in addition to maintaining expenses you write your movements. Like when you caught train, etc. Then in my case I began to write what movie I watched. Basically it would be a kind of 'log book'. That was year 2005-06. Then I began blogspot (old). Later in the same year I joined Wipro my ex-company and then deleted the blogspot account. Subsequently, I opened orkut. Orkut was basically a 'social networking' site.
Also in my company, we had a forum called Channel-W. It was basically a PHPBB forum and people could remain anonymous. I used it till 2010 end when they replaced it with a new Channel-W.
In 2008, I deleted the orkut account. In 2009, I got an ex-Channel-Wite sending me friend request on facebook as well as linked in. My facebook account remained dormant / I hardly used it until I left my Wipro company on July 2011. I used it a lot for 1 year when I deleted it permanently on August 2012. Subsequently, twice I re-opened facebook and re-deleted the same.
Linkedin also remained dormant since I joined and now I have deleted it. Just like facebook, I have reopened and re-deleted it. It did not help me find a job and that was the reason.
Meanwhile when I was into ChannelW, in addition to engaging in good time fun with folks, I also used to post "Latest and Last movie watched" in respective thread (in Channel W). When I left Wipro, I also left Channel W and I lost all the posts.
In 2011 January onwards when Phpbb ChannelW got deleted, I used twitter to post the "Latest and Last movie watched". Difference between twitter and ChannelW is that Channel W can be accessed only by Wipro employees interested in the same whereas anyone in the world can access Anup Sabat on twitter (or at least they could while I was there/ in twitter).
But then in August 2012, when I deleted the facebook, I also deleted all my tweets and then my twitter account. Subsequently, I have re-opened twitter also twice and deleted it twice.
The day I deleted the twitter and facebook for the last time (it was May 2013), I re-opened blogspot.
Another reason for my opening of blogspot is that I went to a site called bestgore and there posted few comments. It goes through the wordpress account. But the real me is not the one in bestgore. The real me is out here and few sample which I want to make is there in blogspot.
