It was the first step. I was there. I first transitioned from totally customized, handmade websites to blogs. And then, from there to social media. The reason was always the same: convenience, as the author explains. Social media were a continuation of what the likes of Movable Type started.
BTW, I wouldn't blame Movable Type per se (I still have fond memories of that tool!) but rather the lack of tools to make the publishing of non-chronological content similarly easy. There was one attempt around 10 years ago: Opera Unite. It was a great idea (IMHO), but didn't last long.
