What is a Blog?
This blog entry was posted on July 9, 2007.
So what is a Blog anyway? Recently, there has been a great deal of talk about blogs. Blogs can be personal or business related. Business blogs or corporate blogs are one of the hottest growth areas for blogs and is opening new markets for business. Blogs allow anyone to quickly post text and images to the Web without any special technical knowledge. This opens the web up to more publishing and distribution of information.
What is it?
Blog is short for weblog. A blog is a regularly updated journal published on the web. Wouldn’t it be nice if the readers of a website could leave comments, about a specific article? With blogs, they can! Posting comments is one of the best features of blogs. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the Web site.
Some blogs are intended for a small audience; others have a readership of national newspapers. On a blog, the content consists of articles — also sometimes called “posts” or “entries.
A Blog is a Web site that contains dated entries in reverse chronological order (most recent first) about a particular topic. A blog has unfiltered content — some feel that the second somebody filters or edits the author it’s no longer a blog.
Blogs are influential, personal, or both, and they reflect as many topics and opinions as there are people writing them. Many blogs focus on a particular topic, such as web design, politics, sports, or mobile technology. Some are more eclectic, presenting links to all manner of other sites. And others are more like personal journals, presenting the author’s daily life and thoughts.
According to Technorati data, there are over 175,000 new blogs (that’s just blogs) every day. Blogs represent one of the defining differences of web 2.0 or the second generation Internet.
