blog
Definition
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.
