In the 2000s, blogs were often the work of a single individual,
occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject or
topic. In the 2010s, multi-author blogs (MABs) emerged, featuring the
writing of multiple authors, sometimes professionally edited. MABs from
newspapers, othermedia
outlets,
universities,think
tanks,advocacy
groups,
and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blogtraffic.
The rise of Twitter and other "microblogging"
systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into the news
media.Blogcan
also be used as a verb, meaningto
maintain or add content to a blog" Source Wikipedia
A new way of communication has now becoming
a fact in the Internet world. People are now trying to
influence you by expressing
their opinions, and facts in a blog. It
is a inexpensive and far reaching form of communication. Creators
can work from home and not have to deal with ways of
restricting their imputes. The topics and opinions have
a wide range on information from ultraconservative
moderate to ultraliberal. If you want to blog try being
honest and appeal to the better side of life.
Unfortunately it has become a great source of
misinformation, disinformation and outright lies. One
must take into account, the source of the blog ( is it
an individual, corporate governmental or
organizational), the background of the individual
creating the blog and finally the objective of the blog!
Trust but verify, must always be a guiding light. Blogs
by their very nature are designed to influence your
opinion and actions both positive and negative. The
Classroom's blog is designed to enlighten you and give
you information you might not get from many blogs.
"Either write something worth reading or do
something worth writing" Ben Franklin
