The Blog Undoubtedly, you have noticed the urge to blog that has sweep across the web and been ingrained into the online culture. Chances are that you or one of your friends owns a LiveJournal or a Xanga . Can you remember ho w many friends you are affiliated to on the Facebook ? Nowadays, our society is more and more concerned about solitude yet, strangely enough, many people opt to share their personal thoughts in a blog rather than keeping them private in a diary. Many young people (since they have all this time and naught to do with it) keep personal blogs and write about their day-to-day experiences, complaints, and (maybe) stealthy thoughts. Sometimes, there are poems, prose, songs, and more. But, what makes blogging truly revolutionary is the idea of allowing readers to contribute and to comment. A Fad?

All your blogger friends are having tons of fun, and since you didnt want to be leave out, you just had to start one too. But, if blogging were just a fad, people would geological period doing it just as quickly as they started (as is the case for the tried-it-once-and- that-was-it type of fad). Eventually, everyone would conceal updating, and blogs would become extinct. Instead, there is an ever-growing, devoted following of hardcore updating-daily bloggers.
