blogs

Blogs are websites in which users (you) can create entries on just about anything. They are basically online journals or diaries.

People often create entries for friends to see, blogs about subjects which they’re passionate about and areas for anyone to give their opinion.

There are a number of websites which show blog entries about particular subjects you might be interested in.

An example of one is Digg – where users submit stories for review, and the blogs that are read the most often go at the top of the homepage. This is called ‘non-hierarchical editorial control’ which just means that users decide what goes on rather than an editor.

Blogs are a common way in which celebrities keep in touch with their fans. They can write daily entries and anyone in the world can read them.
