Aren't Blogs Just Personal Diaries?

While blogs emerged on the web as personal diaries,
over the years they have evolved into much more
than that.It all began when people realized that the blog
platform could be used for a wide range of purposes.
Some started sharing news on their blogs, others
humor pieces, and others yet started writing articles
on their fields of expertise.The key aspect is the fact that blogs
transformed monologues into conversations.Before their appearance, you had a small number
mainstream websites that were responsible for th
production of all the content online. Users like you
and me could just absorb that content passively.
With the appearance of blogs, however, the acces
to web publishing was democratized. Suddenly
anyone, anywhere could share his ideas and conte
with the rest of the world.
Today the line between blogs and mainstream
websites is blurring. You have popular blogs like
TechCrunch.com competing head to head with
established publications like Wired.We could say that a blog is nothing more than a
type of website. It is a platform that anyone can use
to publish content on the web. As for what that
content must be, there are no rules.
