I would imagine that you have control over the content and all your random thoughts, diaries, hobbies etc are aggregated in one place and are better organized (in my case poorly so). They are more colorful with images and pictures that can be added to accentuate your positions. Sometimes, it is like talking to yourself albeit colorfully <g>

OT: blogging vs. SI. To me, SI is a discussion forum for people with a similar interest (mostly investing) whereas blogging is like a personal journal. I think they are both useful. SI is limited to the universe of SI posters. With blogging you can reach out to other relevant bloggers (using the trackback ping feature). You can post comments on blogs, but it is not a message forum like SI. I just started blogging. I'm not sure where it will go or if I'll still be active in a few months. Maybe my blog will change and become about mountain climbing and surfing<G>. I've been on SI for years and I've read many insightful posts about investing and economic issues. Blogs don't replace SI (or similar forums) but they can supplement them. Best to you.
