I was reading a Ladies' Home Journal magazine and one of the articles that caught my attention was titled What's A Blog. A blog (shortened from "Weblog") is a personal Web page that the creator regularly updates. It's similar to a diary or journal except bloggers choose to post their feelings, thoughts and observation for the world to see rather to scribble them on a page. Blogs are usually updated daily or weekly and most offer readers an opportulnity to post a comment. No editor, publisher or other third party filters the information. Freedom of speech prevails, but the quality of writing and subject matter are a decidedly mixed bag. Blogs promote projects, share experiences, voice opinions and chronicle journeys, most contain photos or other graphics and links to other Web sites (typed verbatim from the magazine article).

I now know about facebook where you establish friends and establish communication though the facebook. Because I have dial-up at home, I could imagine trying to establish friendship links, it would take me forever to communicate.
