A Blog Exactly; an Introduction

Thursday 30 July 2009 Leave a Comment

blogA blog, is short term that means web log. It is online, chronological collection of personal commentary and links. Easy to create and use from anywhere with an Internet connection, blogs are a form of Internet publishing that has become an established communications tool. Blogging has evolved from its origins as a medium for the online publication of personal diaries to a respected vehicle for editorials on specific topics.

In their latest incarnation, blogs represent an alternative to mainstream media publications. The personal perspectives presented on blogs often lead to discourse between bloggers, and many blog circles generate a strong sense of community.Although online journals have been around longer than the term blog they gained momentum with the introduction of services that allow users to publish blogs easily, without needing to code HTML.

Today, thousands of people use services including Blogger and Moveable Type to simplify, automate, and accelerate the online publishing process. Blogs are showing up in venues ranging from entertainment and commerce to news and politics. Many blogs are the musings ofa single author; others focus on a particular topic and feature the voices of several authors. There are group blogs, family blogs, community blogs, and corporate blogs. WarBlogs (a product of the Iraq war), LibLogs (library blogs), and EduBlogs targeting education) are just some of the emerging types of blogs. In educational settings, faculty are using blogs to express their opinions,to promote dialogue in the discipline, and as an instructional tool, and students are increasingly using blogs both as personal commentaries and as a required part of certain courses.
