According to traditional theories of information systems, one of the reasons for using information technology is that users believe it to be helpful or useful for what they want to do, which is called extrinsic motivation. However, in addition to extrinsic motivation, there are other reasons for using it such as enjoying or playing with information technology itself, called intrinsic motivation, and just others around users, called social influence. The objective of this study is to provide a research model for using information technology considering intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and social influence. For validation of this model, we survey the users of 'Minihompy' since it is one of the most popular blog services in Korea and there are relatively clear extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, and social influence respectively in using it. By analysing 549 valid samples by Partial Least Square(PLS), we show the suggested research model to be a valid one. That is, all hypotheses we suggested turn out to be statistically significant and $R^2$ of the dependent variable, the intention of use, explaining by the model to be higher than 40%. In addition to validation of the research model, it is found that intrinsic motivation may be more important than extrinsic motivation and social influence in using information technology.
