Blog Definition(s)

[Honey]

Blog
A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person's life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people. People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems, most notably Blogger at blogger.com.
Thousands of people use services such as Blogger to simplify and accelerate the publishing process. Blogs are alternatively called web logs or weblogs. However, "blog" seems less likely to cause confusion, as "web log" can also mean a server's log files.


Weblog
A weblog, or simply a blog, is a website which contains periodic, reverse chronologically ordered posts on a common webpage. Such a web site would typically be accessible to any Internet user. Part of the reason "blog" was coined and commonly accepted into use is the fact that in saying "blog", confusion with server log is avoided. Individual posts (which taken together are the blog or weblog) either share a particular theme, or a single or small group of authors.

n.) Short for Web log, a blog is a Web page that serves as a publicly accessible personal journal for an individual. Typically updated daily, blogs often reflect the personality of the author.
(v.) To author a Web log. Other forms: Blogger (a person who blogs).

Blog
Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a journal that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the Web site. Blogs have common elements: updated frequently (usually daily); informal; grouped by date with links to archives of older posts; informative and/or inspiring (the good ones); frequently linked to other sites that inspired the blog; and addictive for those who blog. The author of a blog is often referred to as a blogger. When we add an entry to our blogs, we may often say we blogged today.


Blog
Short for weblog. A meandering, blatantly uninteresting online diary that gives the author the illusion that people are interested in their stupid, pathetic life.

Hmm, cut and past from various sources? It is interesting to see all the different definitions.

Not very flattering to bloggers, some of those descriptions!

I think this definition is accurate. Although the word "hierarchy" bothers me

Most blogs are a hierarchy because you have post categories or tags that you can use to organize the posts into a tree or sorts. Especially on WordPress you can have child categories. For example on Books For Sale I have a parent category "Book Reviews" and beneath that I have "Young Adult Books" and "Junior Fiction Books".

This makes the posts organized in a hierarchical manner.

Yes, you're right. Although, i haven't seen many hiarchical tags. They were in most cases unrelated

So these are the different definition for all the word related to "blog".

It's nice to read these meanings.
