What is a blog?

May-30-2008 By Otto

This article is written for those who want to find out what is a blog. Since the occupation, I often have to talk about it, I decided that would be more correct to state their once sobrazheniya more or less systematically.

My description of the blog does not claim either the uniqueness or the correctness. This is my personal opinion. Now you are reading a second version of the note. I would be happy to hear your constructive ideas.
The short answer

Blog - is a public diary with commentary.

Normal people show little diary. Blog open for reading, moreover, readers can keep their comments to records.
Differences blog

Blogs personality. He has a sponsor - a living person (or authors, if this group blog). Moreover, a blog exists in the context of the author's identity. In contrast to his forum, which is similar to an anonymous call in crowded places.

Blog social. First, the blog itself - is in a sense community. Secondly, from the very beginning of their blogs have become sponsors to join in community through the publication Blogroll - lists read your blog. Even a blog as easy to guess, are assumed to readers, some of them know the author personally. This makes a blog unique in its unobtrusive and informative tool with a wide range of acquaintances, friends, clients and so forth, with the ability to get collective feedback.

Blog exists in time - records appear in chronological order. (This, of course, does not prevent the author to group them even on any grounds such as those on the topics). In this contrast from the usual blog site, whose contents are "forever". Blog discrete, in one sense, this is travel notes.

Blog - this conversation. People usually talk about what interest to them and what they have a personal attitude. In contrast, this blog monologue from conventional news. Conversation implied theme or focus. Focus not necessarily be a case, it may be, for example, emotional.

Since the blog is tied to time, it seeks to maximize the novelty, but because it is the individual, new developments and receive osmyslyayutsya interpretation. Therefore, blogs - a good environment for the birth of new ideas, but the social dimension of blogs gives these ideas Wednesday for distribution and growth.
