Is there a formal definition of "blog" or "blogger". I have a rough idea what they mean. Those terms have been used a lot lately in reference to increasing sources of news and opinions on the internet.
Thanks in advance
blog=weblog=similar to FR forum. People post and respond.
The term comes from the original name web log. weBLOG
web log
On a Web site, a blog, a short form for weblog, is a personal journal that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption
Blog is short for "web log". Blogger is someone who maintains a blog. Web logs are analogous with editorials. Anybody can do it. Some have evolved into true news sites and some are merely an individuals rantings.
Thanks all!!! I knew what they did - I didn't know it originated from "web log"
You'll have to look it up on Krusgnet.
What is "Krusgnet"? I did a search and it references me back to Freerepublic articles???
Krusgnet is a web environmment maintained by the Krusamon cult. They worship the "Plaid Camel". Supposedly the 18th sign of the Marcadian Dindwal, which is similar to the Zodiac. The Plaid Camel being the juxtaposition of Celtic culture with that of North African nomads. I hope that clears things up.
Striking figure.Hopefully to be repeated in our lifetime.
Thank you MR. The concept is now perfectly clear to me!!!
Thanks for the question, I also kinda knew, but it's nice to really know. (hey, I sound like Yogi!)
