Harold's example was a prime factor in my deciding to create my whiteboard. I've since said to many people that the personal-content-management aspect (an excess number of syllables, but a good capsulization) has surprised me with its usefulness. Janet:

I think not having time is a BS excuse. What to post is something that can hold people back. I don't even know if I have a theme on my blog. Lots of randomness..bordering on the bazaar. It's almost as if that voice inside your head (assuming you have one) is able to speak out loud. I imagine some people don't want to do that. Harold Jarche, who I was lucky enough to spend time with last week, uses his blog to locate information on a number of topics just as you do. A great plus for managing your own content.
