Why blog?

The word “blog’ is one of the most popular words on the internet today. This buzz word is one of the most popularly searched terms on the internet because increasing numbers of people are trying to figure out what blogging is all about. A blog is a web log, or an online public diary or journal that is written for others to read. Blogs have long lasting shelf lives, as they exist on the internet until you decide to remove them. Blogs are easy to syndicate, meaning that you can get your information and opinions out there, and can allow them to spread like wildfire. (From: The blog traffic exchange)
