BLOG - a website that displays in chronological order the postings by one or more individuals and usually has links to comments on specific postings.
Blogs took off in 1999 after blog development applications such as Pitas, Blogger and GrokSoup were released. The template-based software made it easy to create an online blog and continuously add entries without having to code the pages in HTML.
After 9/11, blogs were used to convey information, thoughts and feelings faster than any previous method. On controversial issues as well as mainstream subjects, blogs can quickly reach people around the world. The “blogosphere,” which is the world of blogs, has become such a forum for public expression that it is being routinely searched for reactions and opinions about products, politics and issues of all kinds.
blogorrhea – typically refers to meaningless ranting and raving on a blog
