It s coming from blogs. Short for weblogs. Type your message of the moment into the top slot, post it, publish it, and bam, it s up on the page. Of course, you probably want something other than a bare-bones site for your blog, which is why several designers will happily provide you with blog templates if you can t come up with one yourself. It s that sense of community that makes the world of blogging so fascinating.
Blogs are immediate.
They re fast. As soon as it appears in your head, it can appear on the page, FTP connection permitting. Partly just to let my friends know what's up, but also to relieve the desperate feeling that no one cares. I get hits and it means people care, that I matter. Actually, I think my blog will be a lot better once I manage to rid myself of that particular motivation.
