BLOG THIS!
blog - an online personal journal, in which its owner regularly
adds new entries
Blogs aren’t as new as some people might think. Since the early days of
the Internet users have been keeping online diaries recording their opinions and
adding hyperlinks to websites they visit. In
1997 the name ‘weblog’ was used for the first time by Jorn Barger who called his site in this way. The term ‘blog’
was coined three years later by Peter Merholz who broke the word ‘weblog’ into ‘we blog’ and the new
word ‘blog’
started to function as both a verb and a noun.
In 1999 there were only a few blogs, today a new blog is created almost
every second. Millions of bloggers find in them a perfect outlet for self-expression
adding regularly new entries – posts, voicing their opinions and recommending
other blogs or websites.
