Why does Moddb have blogs? - MrSaturdayKnight

I always wondered about that ever since I made my account on here. I dont really see why Moddb would put a blog section on user's accounts. From what I seen, many people here hardly use it (from my eyes) and to me it's pretty pointless. The internet already has facebook, twitter, myspace and a whole shitload of other blogger sites that I dont feel like mentioning so why add one here? Not saying its bad to have one and I'm also saying that they couldnt have added them but why? People here have the News posts and many link their blogs to the site mentioned above so to me they're pointless. Just my 2 cents.
