What is a Blog?
First of all: a diary.
1.a website where entries are
displayed in reverse chronological
order.
2.Many blogs provide commentary
or news on a particular subject;
others function as more personal
online diaries.
3.A typical blog combines text,
images, and links to other blogs,
web pages, and other media related
to its topic.
4.The ability for readers to leave
comments in an interactive format
is an important part of many blogs.
As of December 2007, blog search
engine Technorati was tracking more
than 112 million blogs.

Watch out…
“…people know what blogs [and wikis] are, and what they are really
seeking now is pedagogy, not training. It feels like, finally, this is no
longer a technology as it is another way to connect and communicate.
It's feeling like in some places, at least, blog thinking is becoming
embedded.” (Will Richardson, Turning Point 2006)
or
“The user is the content!
But is the user conscious
of it?”
(Martin Ebner, TU Graz)
