Why blogging?

Edelman PR has a survey on bloggers. for the first question: what is the primary reason you blog?" I wonder if they forgot to add an option for me: Blogging for writing practice-in foreign language. Anybody out there?

but of course- the survey is for PR popurse. Other intersting findings: bloggers trusted other bloggers most (62%) when looking information about a product-another good reason for corporate to hire some professional bloggers to talk about their companies or products; however, blogs are not that trustworthy if endorsed by a company (only 6.68% say it's VERY trustworthy).

And, Surprise!- about 60%(!) of bloggers interviewed have been contacted by PRs. Now I can't help wondering if the blogger samples are kind of skewed to those top bloggers.
