Blog
Blog (also called a weblog, a combination of web and log) refers to an online journal consisting of a set of written entries from an author or group of authors, updated regularly, pertaining to a topic or set of topics.
Brief History
Blogs gained notoriety throughout the late 90's, after the first online diary was published in 1994 by Swarthmore College student Justin Hall. The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger on Dec. 17, 1997. The term refers to the process of "logging the web" while surfing, according to Barger. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary declared "blog" as the word of the year in 2004, illustrating the term's acceptance by popular culture.
