blogs

Blogs are becoming rampant in the web. But what exactly is the purpose of a blog? Or to be more specific, what is a blog?

blog
Definition
blog
A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links.
Information
A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person's life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people.
People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems, most notably Blogger at blogger.com. Thousands of people use services such as Blogger to simplify and accelerate the publishing process.
Blogs are alternatively called web logs or weblogs. However, "blog" seems less likely to cause confusion, as "web log" can also mean a server's log files.

Blogs are like diaries, journals of events of different people. Their sites are personal to them because they serve as a personality of the author. They share what they learn and their experiences so that other people may be able to benefit from their flaws and success. They share their lives and experiences to their liking. These blogs/sites are optional to the viewing pleasure of others. If you don't like the topics covered in a site or whatever, you have the option of leaving the site. Thank you very much.

those who are going against blogs are plain losers cos they are not open minded enough to see what other people have in mind. their closing their minds to what they see and believe. and they're loser-er cos they still manage to visit blogs even if they get annoyed with it. haha! pathetic.
