If the devil has done Blogs Come From?


The blog first appeared in the wild sometime in early 1990. Most people do not recognize them as such. They were often a mixture of links, directories, personal thoughts and comments, all in one solution. These initial blog was really just manually updated pages of popular websites, so it was the purpose that makes them different, and not the software. The first recognized blogging platforms came into existence in the mid-90s, the most common example is the blog Scripting News and parent company Userland.

In 1999, with the introduction of Blogger (now owned by Google), blogging has become more common, and their contents from being changed links and web-driven, magazine-to be driven. The "blog" word itself derives from the more formal name, web logs, suggesting that the blog should appear in a journal or log entry format, and must be updated frequently, as well as a personal log or diary would be.

The next paradigm shift happened much more important as companies realized that blogs are an easy and informal keep in touch with your customers. Journalists have started using it as a publishing platforms to get the word of people quickly.

According to a 2004 Pew Internet and American Life Project survey, the average blogger at that time was primarily an upper-middle class male under the age of 30 with complimentary high-speed Internet, which had been online for more than six years. In just four years, the blogging landscape has changed dramatically, leading to a more demographically diverse group of people today.

Part of this demographic shift is due to increased availability of broadband access around the world, but most of it is due to the variety of user-friendly tools available to create blogs. Gone are the days when only those with technical background could write and manage blogs. This was an extremely positive development for blogging, as now there are blogs on almost every topic imaginable, written by people from all walks of life.

Now blogs are everywhere, and are used for all kinds of purposes. I am no longer a curiosity, but now they are both expected and respected. Blogging software has improved, the support infrastructure is powerful, and blogs are now one of the easiest, most powerful ways to establish a presence on the web .......
