What is a blog?

As this has been a topic of much conversation recently I thought I would state that a blog is supposed to be a persons personal thoughts as described below. The blog format of an online diary makes it possible for users without much experience to create, format, and post entries with ease.

People write their day-to-day experiences, complaints, poems, prose, illicit thoughts and more, often allowing others to contribute, fulfilling to a certain extent Tim Berners-Lee's original view of the World Wide Web as a collaborative medium. In 2001, mainstream awareness of online diaries began to increase dramatically.

Personal opinions on experiences and hobbies are very common in the blog world. Blogs have given the opportunity for people to express their views to a mass audience. What may have been created to be used among a few friends may be viewed by the internet-using public.

P.S. More photos coming to my flickr account very soon!
