Blogging is taking the online world by storm. It is the fastest rising new activity on the internet. It is allowing people to post their thoughts not only about personal things but also about the world at large.

Blogs, otherwise known as web logs, is both an online diary and a guestbook. Anyone can set a blog account or function on their website and then post entries on it. As part of the blogging function, it can either be set up as a private journal where people can just read what is posted or it can be set up in such a way where readers can get together and then place their own comments on your entry or to each other.

Blogs can be considered as opinion pieces on a particular topic or field. There are topic specific blogs where entries are limited to the topic set by the blogger. There is also an area specific blog which can be a resource on particular place. There are also blogs that are set up as a source for news on a highly specialized topic of field that would otherwise be ignored by the general media. Blogs can be used by internet marketers and business owners to promote a website or use the internet traffic generated by the blog to promote a product, service or an affiliate program (as a separate source of income).

Internet marketing professionals highly encourage website and business owners to start their own blogs because they acknowledge that it is a powerful tool for internet marketing.

Here are some reasons why starting a blog is a great business move:

Blogs allow you to stay in touch with the subscribers and clients. A blog allows you to keep communication lines open with so that you can always interact with subscribers or readers. It also helps nurture trust in you as an individual and owner of a business owner.

It’s a great way to get regular feedback. A blog’s feature that enables readers to post comments is a great way of getting feedback from your clients. Clients and readers can comment on what you have posted and these replies can help you determine what they need.

A blog is not labour intensive. You don’t need a knowledge of HTML or other web designing skills to make and post blogs. Most bloggers use WYSIWYG HTML editors to help in the blogging function. These very easy to use and require very little technical skills, if at all.

A wonderful way to disseminate information. The biggest benefit of blogging is that you can post articles in the form of articles or reviews. These articles can help lift your reputation as an expert in your field.

It is a big help to your page ranking. Blogs are so rich in content that search engines can’t get enough of them. The fact that blogs also offer new content makes it attractive to search engines.

You can just blog about your personal experiences if you want. A friend of mine blogged all about her experience with dieting and her daily struggles. She also helped people get a discount by using a Nutrisystem Coupon Code.

It is a great vehicle for advertising. Blogs can be a great venue for advertising because of the potential for the community to achieve a massive number of participants. It is also a cost effective advertising platform.

When the internet first launched in 1969, it was a far different beast from that which its users know it as today. As opposed to the huge information resource center that it now is, the web from that was created almost forty years ago was part of an American program for space research called ARPA, or Advanced Research Projects Agency. When NASA was formed, ARPA moved away from space and air flight and concentrated on computers.

As part of their research, a framework to connect all their computers was established, called ARPAnet, and thus the internet was born. Jump forward thirteen years, and a whole host of web servers are now live. Not only does this cause problems trying to connect all the different time zones and languages, it leads to conflicting hardware, meaning some computers simply refuse to talk to each other. Therefore, a standard had to be agreed. This happened in 1982, when TCP/IP became the standard communication tool. Standing for Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol, itís the universal language worldwide for the internet and has been for the last twenty years plus.

Now, however, the internet is changing. Whereas before you might look up information on a new album or film, the explosion in popularity of digital downloading for these very same media formats mean that the information is in physical form as opposed to someone just writing about it. Social networking is the new buzzword ñ from MySpace to Facebook and beyond, the internet is THE place to catch up with old friends, let everyone know what you’re doing, share your music with a potential audience of billions ñ the potential is endless. And this is where the new Web 2.0 comes in.

More an evolution than revolution, Web 2.0 is not being touted as a complete replacement for the existing internet features; it’s more an extensive upgrade. Allowing users to communicate better with each other, Web 2.0 is seen as the next logical step in the internet, and allows far more user participation than just looking at web pages. Now you can link all your social network sites like Facebook and MySpace, and use them to promote your own music, ideas or products.

Sites like 4inkjets coupon have popped up all over the internet with the ease of use of products like WordPress.

Web 2.0 is looking to strengthen the power that the normal, everyday web surfer has at their fingertips. Instead of just big business and corporate companies having access to the latest technology and resources, sites like eBay, craigslist, Skype and AdSense, to name just a few, are letting anybody and everybody use the power and ease of use of the internet to get any message they want across, or to buy and sell goods, or have a voice conversation between two computers. This is the true beauty of Web 2.0, and one of many reasons that people are getting excited.

Question: Is Facebook a vital part of communicating and making friends these days?
I have deleted my Facebook account a long time ago and I have lost contact with a lot of people and no one ever seems to contact me anymore. This has made me question if a social networking account is as vital as having a mobile phone these days if you’re young (meaning under 25). Do people even text anymore?

Is it the fact I have people in my life who aren’t really my friends or is it that Facebook is a vital part of communicating with people these days?

This is not the answer you are looking for, but real life is always the best thing. It is more difficult to hide behind a screen than real eyes. I know I am going to get bashed for this, but it is my belief.

This was a huge project for my Documentary Media class. It wasn’t requred, but I wanted to show myself that I had filmmaking skillz. I chose to focus on the current trend of online social networking. I included many people, some that I never met before, but it all turned out to be great. A few glitches here and there, but I got an A. A hearty thank you to those who participated. I also wrote a blog: The documentary is finally up, and many apologies for leaving you hanging on. (The people that were in it were those that wanted to see themselves) Doing this project was fun, and a lot of hard work. Probably the toughest part was renting the cameras twice a week and having John (Mass Comm engineer) putting up with me coming in and out of his office. So what’s the documentary about? I wanted to focus on the current trend of online social networking. This was for a class (Documentary Media), and I ended up getting an A in it, partly because of this project. After Dr. Murphy okayed my topic, I went ahead and made a list of what I was going to cover in this film. This was only going to be 13 minutes, which was the limit. I knew it would be tough to cram it all into one, but I think that I did it. Choosing the people to interview was easy. I immediately drew up some names, such as my friend Liz from the radio station (she likes Myspace for the bands), my friend/co-worker Marc (who likes to meet people through groups), and one of my past professors Dr. Tom Foster, who was one of …
