Blogs

Class N° 4

               

In this class we discussed about Blogs and its different uses and features. A definition of blog found in Wikipedia establishes that “Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog”.

In this class, we learned that blog is an example of a Web 2.0 since users can interact there, share information and send messages among them.

Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites. Blog can be used for different purposes; here you will find some links to learn more about Blogs and also a guide to create your own blog.
