Part
1: What is Blog
Definition
of Blog
Blogs are web pages
that contain the writer or group of writers own experiences, observations,
opinions, etc., and often having images and links to other websites[1].
blog is a discussion
site or the information published on the World Wide Web and consisting of
"post" is usually displayed in reverse chronological order (most
recent post appears first). Until 2009 the blog is usually the work of an
individual, sometimes small, and often covers a single subject. Recent
"multi-author blog" (mAbs) have been developed, with posts written by
professional writers and edited. MAbs from newspapers, other media,
universities, think tanks, interest groups and similar institutions account for
increasing blog traffic volume.[2]
Blog
History
The term
"weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger on 17 December 1997. Short form,
"blog," was coined by Peter Merholz who jokingly broke the word
weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com in April
or May 1999. Shortly thereafter, Evan Williams at Pyra Labs used
"blog" as both a noun and verb ("to blog," meaning "to
edit one's weblog or to post one's weblog") and devised the term
"blogger" in connection with Pyra Labs' Blogger product, leading to
the popularization of the terms.
Before
blogging became popular, digital communities took many forms, including Usenet,
commercial online services such as jinn, BIX and the early CompuServe, e-mail
lists and Bulletin Board System (BBS). In the 1990s, Internet forum software,
created to conduct a conversation with a "thread". Threads are
topical connections between messages on the "corkboard" virtual.
From
June 14, 1993 Mosaic Communications Corporation to maintain their "What's
New" list of new website, updated daily and monthly archives. This page
can be accessed with a "What's New" button in the web browser Mosaic
special.
Modern
blog evolved from the online diary, where people would keep the accounts carry
their personal lives. Most of the writers called themselves diarists,
journalists, or journal. Justin Hall, who began personal blogging in 1994 while
a student at Swarthmore College, is generally recognized as one of the bloggers
before, like Jerry. PournelleDave
Winer of Scripting News is also credited with being one of the older and longer
running weblogs. Australia Netguide magazine maintains daily net news on their
website from 1996. Net Daily News ran daily links and reviews new websites,
particularly in Australia. Another early blog was Wearable Wireless Webcam, an
online shared diary of a person's personal life combining text, video, and
pictures transmitted live from the wearable computer and EyeTap device to a web
site in 1994. Practice of semi-automated blogging with live video together with
text was referred to as sousveillance, and such journals were also used as
evidence in matters of law.
Early
blog purely manually updated components of common websites. However, the
evolution of tools to facilitate the production and maintenance of web articles
posted in reverse chronological order made the publishing process feasible to
a much larger, less technical, population. Ultimately, this results in a
different class of online publishing that produces blogs we recognize today.
For example, the use of some sort of browser-based software is now a typical
aspect of "blogging". Blogs can be hosted by dedicated blog hosting
services, or they can be run using blog software, or regular web hosting
services.
Some
early bloggers, such as The Bitch misanthrope, which began in 1997, actually
referred to their online presence as a zine, before the term blog entered
common usage.[3]
