According to Wikipedia.com, a blog is a user-generated website. Entries to the blog are made in journal fashion and are displayed in a reverse chronological order. Blogs provide personal interpretation or news on a particular subject. Blogs can also be fashioned as a type of online diary. Most blogs contain photographic images, text, and links to other sites that are important to the content of the blog. Many blogs allow viewers to add their own comments to the blog. The blog search engine technorati was tracking more than 57 million blogs in November 2006. Before blogs, the popular way to communicate online was to use a site that catered to digital communities, such as Usenet, bulletin board systems, email lists, etc.
As users of the digital age, we have been creative in finding new ways to communicate with each other. Blogging is a popular way to get yourself "out there" and to "be heard"...even if no one is paying attention.
