BLOG

A blog (a truncation of the expression weblog )is a discussion or

informational site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of

discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order

(the most recent post appears first). Until 2009 blogs were usually the work

of a single individual[citation needed], occasionally of a small group, and

often covered a single subject. More recently "multi-author blogs" (MABs)

have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and

professionally edited. MABs from newspapers, other media outlets,

universities, think tanks, advocacy groups and similar institutions accountfor an increasing quantity of blog traffic. The rise of Twitter and other "micro

blogging" systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into

societal new streams. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to

maintain or add content to a blog.

The emergence and growth of blogs in the late 1990s coincided with the

advent of web publishing tools that facilitated the posting of content by non-technical users. (Previously, knowledge of such technologies as HTML and

FTP had been required to publish content on the Web.)

A majority are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even

message each other via GUI widgets on the blogs, and it is this interactivity

that distinguishes them from other static websites In that sense, blogging

can be seen as a form of social networking service. Indeed, bloggers donot only produce content to post on their blogs, but also build social

relations with their readers and other bloggers.There are high-readership

blogs which do not allow comments, such as Daring Fireball.

Many blogs provide commentary on a particular subject; others function as

more personal online diaries; others function more as online brand

advertising of a particular individual or company. A typical blog combines

text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related

to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactiveformat is an important contribution to the popularity of many blogs. Most

blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blogs),

photographs (photoblogs), videos (video blogs or "vlogs"), music (MP3

blogs), and audio (podcasts). Microblogging is another type of blogging,

featuring very short posts. In education, blogs can be used as instructional

resources. These blogs are referred to as edublogs.

Before blogging became popular, digital communities took many forms,

includingUsenet,commercial online services such asGEnie, BiX and the

earlyCompuServe,e-mail listsandBulletin Board Systems(BBS). In the

1990s,Internet forumsoftware, created running conversations with

"threads". Threads are topical connections between messages on a virtual

"corkboard".

From 14 June 1993 Mosaic Communications Corporation maintained their

"Whats New"list of new websites, updated daily and archived monthly. The

page was accessible by a special "What's New" button in the Mosaic web

browser.The modern blog evolved from theonline diary,where people would keep a

running account of their personal lives. Most such writers called themselves

diarists,journalists,or journalers.Justin Hall,who began personal blogging

in 1994 while a student atSwarthmore College, is generally recognized as

one of the earlier bloggers, as isJerry Pournelle. Dave Winer'sScripting

News is also credited with being one of the older and longer running

weblogs. The Australian Netguide magazine maintained the Daily Net

News on their web site from 1996. Daily Net News ran links and daily

reviews of new websites, mostly in Australia. Another early blog wasWearable Wireless Webcam, an online shared diary of a person's personal

life combining text, video, and pictures transmitted live from a wearable

computer andEyeTapdevice to a web site in 1994. This practice of semi-

automated blogging with live video together with text was referred to

assousveillance, and such journals were also used as evidence in legal

matters.

Early blogs were simply manually updated components of commonWeb

sites. However, the evolution of tools to facilitate the production and

maintenance of Web articles posted in reverse chronological order made

the publishing process feasible to a much larger, less technical, population.

Ultimately, this resulted in the distinct class of online publishing thatproduces blogs we recognize today. For instance, the use of some sort of

browser-based software is now a typical aspect of "blogging". Blogs can be

hosted by dedicatedblog hosting services, or they can be run usingblog

software,or on regularweb hosting services.

Some early bloggers, such asThe Misanthropic Bitch,who began in 1997,

actually referred to their online presence as azine, before the term blog

entered common usage.

uct, leading to the popularization of the teTypes

There are many different types of blogs, differing not only in the type of

content, but also in the way that content is delivered or written.

Personal blogs

The personal blog is an ongoing diary or commentary written by an

individual.

Microblogging

Microblogging is the practice of posting small pieces of digital content

which could be text, pictures, links, short videos, or other mediaon the

Internet. Microblogging offers a portable communication mode that feels

organic and spontaneous to many and has captured the public imagination.

Friends use it to keep in touch, business associates use it to coordinate

meetings or share useful resources, and celebrities and politicians (or their

publicists) microblog about concert dates, lectures, book releases, or tourschedules. A wide and growing range of add-on tools enables sophisticated

updates and interaction with other applications, and the resulting profusion

of functionality is helping to define new possibilities for this type of

communication. Examples of these include Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and

by far the largest WeiBo.

Corporate and organizational blogs

A blog can be private, as in most cases, or it can be for business purposes.

Blogs used internally to enhance the communication and culture in a

corporation or externally for marketing, branding or public relationspurposes are called corporate blogs. Similar blogs for clubs and societies

are called club blogs, group blogs, or by similar names; typical use is to

inform members and other interested parties of club and member activities.

By genre

Some blogs focus on a particular subject, such as political blogs, health

blogs, travel blogs (also known as travelogs), gardening blogs, house

blogs, fashion blogs, project blogs, education blogs, niche blogs, classical

music blogs, quizzing blogs and legal blogs (often referred to as a blawgs)

or dreamlogs. How To/Tutorial blogs are becoming increasing popular.]

Two common types of genre blogs are art blogs and music blogs. A blog

featuring discussions especially about home and family is not uncommonly

called a mom blog and one made popular is by Erica Diamond who created

Womenonthefence.com which is syndicated to over two million readers

monthly. While not a legitimate type of blog, one used for the sole purpose

of spamming is known as a Splog.

A blog comprising videos is called a vlog, one comprising links is called a

linklog, a site containing a portfolio of sketches is called a sketchblog or

By media type

one comprising photos is called a photoblog. Blogs with shorter posts and

mixed media types are called tumblelogs. Blogs that are written on

typewriters and then scanned are called typecast or typecast blogs; see

typecasting (blogging).

A rare type of blog hosted on the Gopher Protocol is known as a Phlog.

By device

Blogs can also be defined by which type of device is used to compose it. A

blog written by a mobile device like a mobile phone or PDA could be called

a moblog. One early blog was Wearable Wireless Webcam, an online

shared diary of a person's personal life combining text, video, and pictures

transmitted live from a wearable computer and EyeTap device to a web

site. This practice of semi-automated blogging with live video together with

text was referred to as sousveillance. Such journals have been used asevidence in legal matters.[citation needed]

Reverse blog

A Reverse Blog is composed by its users rather than a single blogger. This

system has the characteristics of a blog, and the writing of several authors.

These can be written by several contributing authors on a topic, or opened

up for anyone to write. There is typically some limit to the number of entries

to keep it from operating like a Web Forum.[citation needed]rms.

Although some bloggers have (or have achieved) prominence and expertise

that makes them as influential in politics and other areas as established

journalists, reviewers, and critics (some of which maintain blogs themselves),

many bloggers reach relatively few readers and discuss matters of largely

personal interest. Blogs also have been used by politicians, businesses, and

others to keep voters, customers, and the like informed on matters of common

interest; they can function as a significant alternative to television,

newspapers, and other mainstream media, especially in nations where themedia are controlled or censored by the government. Bloggers have at times

broken important news stories or marshalled public opinion on a matter of

public interest.
