Blogs

  1. What is a blog? (History)
    • A blog is a frequently updated online personal journal or diary. It is a place to express yourself to the world. A place to share your thoughts and your passions.
    • The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger on 17 December 1997. The short form, "blog", was coined by Peter Merholz, who jokingly broke the word weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com in April or May 1999.
    • The modern blog evolved from the online diary, where people would keep a running account of their personal lives. Most such writers called themselves diarists, journalists, or journalers. Justin Hall, who began personal blogging in 1994 while a student at Swarthmore College, is generally recognized as one of the earlier bloggers,[16] as is Jerry Pournelle. Dave Winer's Scripting News is also credited with being one of the older and longer running weblogs. The Australian Netguide magazine maintained the Daily Net News on their web site from 1996. Daily Net News ran links and daily reviews of new websites, mostly in Australia. Another early blog was Wearable Wireless Webcam, an online shared diary of a person's personal life combining text, video, and pictures transmitted live from a wearable computer and EyeTap device to a web site in 1994. This practice of semi-automated blogging with live video together with text was referred to as sousveillance, and such journals were also used as evidence in legal matters.
  2. Who is/are blogger?
    • A person who owns or manages a blog is called a blogger.
  3. Types of blogs
    • Personal blog
    • Tourist blog
    • Comment blog
    • Video blog
  4. Legal and social effects/concerns/consequences/impacts/influences
    • A blog can bring the blogger fame, but sometimes it bring disaster. Because of anonymous, some people will leave the malicious messages on other's blog, and these malicious messages may hurt the blogger. This kind of action is actually the Internet bully, and it make bad effects on many people.
