Alright so I was sitting here and thinking about what to right in this blog. I have heard of blogs but haven't really seen or have written one before. So I googled search th e meaning of blogging and what i got in return is wikipedia defintinon: and it states " is a blog is a type of website, usally maintained by an individual with regualar entries of commentary, description of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. Blog can also be used a verb, meaning to maintain or add a blog. (Wikepdia)

This clears up the meaning for me in that I know exaclty what the term of blogging means. And this should be interesting what will be written by people during the course of the semester. As it is open to many things we can write, discuss or comment about. While i was reading about blogs I noticed that there are different kinds of blogs such as personal blogs, corporate and organizational blogs. They can also be grouped together by genre, media type, and by device which I found interesting to read about.
So during the course of the semester we can technically do all these types of blogs. There were some interesting things about blogging history, origins, how it has transformed over the years, and legal and ethical issues that were also mentioned. So in this little research I have done I have learned something I never really knew about.
I think what is the most interesting thing about blogs is where the name came from. It came from web log. Then it just got put together and became blog. It sounds like something messy from a swamp. The Internet sure changed the way we name things and blog is here to stay.
ReplyDeleteWow Leticia you did some good research. I had no idea that is how the word blog came to be. I didn't even wonder about it, but now I know and I can share it with others. I think its amazing how the internet has changed everyone's lives.
ReplyDeleteI am at a hotel right now and that seems to be the first question asked around here. Is there wireless internet and is it free? Too funny in my opinion when I think that the internet is not that old.
