Blog

Hi everyone!

I wanted to reflect on our today's work : blogging...

What is a blog?

Wikipedia :
"A blog (a contraction of the term weblog) is a type of website, 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."


It is a new experience for many of us and it's a bit weird.. I've already heard of blog. I've already visited some of them. Blogging, I mean writing, is not the same. One becomes part of the stream, one belongs to the "blogosphere". But what's the goal then? And why?

Whatever would be the answers to those questions, one has to admit the blog phenomenon has clearly become a part of media system. There are over 60 millions of blogs on the web. About one million posts are created every day...One can found a blog on almost any subject.

The link with culture? Obvious !
Blog is now a media. A media spreads culture.

Not convinced? Have a look then...

A great tool isn'it? But one must be carefull. There are excellent and really bad things. So one has to select informations in the relentless stream.
Anyway, it's is the really same with all medias (TV Channels, radios, newspapers...) .

So I'm persuaded blog is a very powerfull tool to share one's opinion and culture.
I've shared mine right here..
I'm now a real blogger...
