What is a BLOG?

The word Blog is becoming very popular word to the people of internet users day by day. Many people from different profession are interested about blog as well as blogging. If anyone simply type “blog” in google search the result would be scocking cause of so many blogs. However in the next para I tried to describe it according to my view.

Many people have the hobby about writing. It could be upon different subject. The subject that they like most. It may be a poem, a story, a paragraph, a statistics, an essay, an experience, a guideline etc etc. And the subject could be anything like sports, entertainment such as music, movie, games, finance, ideas etc. A blog contains all the thing that a person wish to write. It depends on him/her that he wants to share it or not. If S/he wants to share it many people would read his/her thought, idea and experience. So, as it appears, a blog is a personal diary of an individual.

On the other hand, a blog can be used for business purpose also. Many organization use blog for their product implementation, for advertisement. So it works as a money making strategy.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting), which are part of a wider network of social media. Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, one which consists of blogs with very short posts.
