Why French people blog so much

From the Herald Tribune: France's mysterious embrace of blogs - Technology - International Herald Tribune

Already famed for angry labor strikes and philosophical debates in smoke-filled cafés, the French have now brought these passions online to become some of the world's most intensive bloggers

Why is that? Yes, the French do have this historical tendency to rebel against authority and at the same time to favor highly centralized forms of government. but I think the real reason why French people blog so much is because they have their guru. Loïc is doing an amazing job at spreading the bloging phenomenon in our country. The fact that he has a vested interest in this as an executive of and investor in Six Apart is relevant too.

"It is clear that in France we have very large egos and love to speak about ourselves," Le Meur said

LOL :-D
