While the majority of Web logs are post only from the owner, the owner can also open the Web log for contributions by giving posting access to designated readers. A Web log demands less maintenance than a discussion list or message board, while being easier to maintain than a Web site. Readers on the road may have Web access but not email access. Here's a quick way to stay in touch with them. Web logs provide immediacy - log in, type your text, click another button to post, and it's published.
Users can see updates in practically real time.
Many Web log users are experimenting with other forms of technology. For example, there is a log on the Blogger site that is also available via TellMe, the voice-activated telephone service. Web logs allow you to be a little freer with your topics. Since many in the past have used them as online diaries, they carry an aura of being very personal - more so than a broadcast newsletter.
