When important events are happening around the world, most people turn to traditional media sources, such as CNN and BBC, for their news. However, now people can write diaries and post them on a web site, known as a “blog.” Blogs, short for “web-logs,” are online diaries, usually kept by individuals, but sometimes by companies and other groups of people. They are the fastest growing type of web site on the Internet.A blog differs from a traditional web site in several ways. Most importantly, it is updated much more regularly. Many blogs are updated every day, and some are updated several times a day. Also, most blogs use special software or web sites which are specifically aimed at bloggers, so you don’t need to be a computer expert to create your own blog. This means that ordinary people who may find computers difficult to use can easily set up and start writing their own blog.There are many different kinds of blogs. The most popular type is an online diary of links, where the blog writer surfs the Internet and then posts links to sites or new articles that they find interesting, with a few comments about each one. Other types are personal diaries, where the writers talk about their life and feelings. Sometimes these blogs can be very personal.There is another kind of blogging, called “moblogging,” short for “mobile blogging.” Mobloggers use mobile phones with cameras to take photos, which are posted instantly to the Internet. The use of mobile phones in this way made the headlines in Singapore when a high school student posted on the Internet a movie he had taken of a teacher shouting at another student and tearing up the student’s homework. Many people were shocked by the student posting a video of the incident on the Internet.As blogs become more common, news reporting will rely less on big media companies and more on ordinary people posting news to the Internet. Possibly, the news will be less like a lecture and more like a conversation, where anyone can join in.1.
