Do people ever get the undirected urge to blog but don't know what to blog about? Usually people blog about the things they care about, and don't need suggestio

  bloggers that like to blog regularly have this problem. I know that if I don't blog for a week I might get an email or two asking what's up as I usually blog more often. I've run into this problem quite often when trying to keep up with my readers. Thanks for the feedback though - how can we make it more apparent that we are solving the "writer's block" problem?

  I would also be very surprised if it turns out that there are a whole lot of bloggers who constantly need ideas from others to write about. Most bloggers i know, write because they are genuinely interested in an activity/thought/event. If someone writes about something they are not really interested in (or knowledgeable about), it would be plainly visible. (One of the exceptions i can think of are people who write pure fiction like short stories on their blog ala writers.)

  I can attest to Paul's claims that this is a valid problem. Yes, a lot of bloggers do write whatever they feel and it just comes out real easy, but a lot of bloggers (such as myself) would love to have some sort of resource to find out what readers want to hear. Skribit is a great idea. I think it's still very young and has a lot of room to grow, but it's a terrific start and the first of its kind.

  It's a system for a feedback loop. If I have a blog for subject, I would still like to understand what it is my audience want to know more about such a subject as to guide what I write in the future. What this is supplementing really is just email, in a more passive way.
