If a person doing blogging in a optimized way, He/She can get some good friends, Unlimited knowledge, some more technical skills in web technologies, improves His/Her writing skills.
In our schooling and college days we may have written some leave letters and of course some apology letters. :)
But apart from that did you ever write a article or a letter to anybody in one or two pages? Maximum of us will say no for this question.

Doing blogging is improving one's writing skills enormously.I can say it soundly.
