There's just a lack of privacy, and people hold their privacy sacred.

Perhaps BLOG won't be as big as EMAIL, and yes more people will be emailing than those blogging, but the "term" BLOG is expected to have longevity. I remember when my parents asked me what "email" was. LOL. Now they're asking me what a BLOG is. And lots of people have a insatiable desire to share their life, ideas, views with the world and the numbers testify to it. Blogging had a huge impact on the recent Election and can't be ignored. Some people risk their jobs by blogging, others are risking their freedom.
keep in mind, some bloggers aren't sharing their personal lives. Some are blogging as a way to share their views, reviews, opinions and news. And when it comes down to privacy, there are plenty of people who want to be a celebrity, even if it's on a small scale by publishing their own blog.
Of course the Reality TV craze coupled with the "herd mentality" will lead more people to blog.
Plus, I plan to do my best to make sure that everyone learns "How To Blog" (HowToBlog.com will be part of the network)
