All about Blogs


A Blog (short for weblog) is often used as a personal journal that can be updated frequently and is intended for general public consumption. Due to their ease of use and the personal nature, the number of blogs and diversity of subject matter has exploded over recent years. Blogs have become a very powerful communication medium and are likely to grow exponentially.
Visitors to the blog can contribute their thoughts and build the content. Blogs can also draw content from other blogs into their own, (referred to as syndication). For this reason, blogs have become a powerful medium for establishing web communities and special interest groups.
