What is Blogging and How It Is Changing The World?


Suppose a person you admire a lot, whether famous or not. Enjoy what it expresses, or their work. If you want to know more about such a personality, just googling the name of (a) admired (a) to find it (a) in several places. Who ever did this?


In each social media can find a "side" of a person. For example, on Twitter you can see with what issues the individual is engaged and what their interests are. Orkut shows more how it relates to people and provide pictures and videos you like. In each social media, one sentence! And blogs?

Blog comes from "weblog" created in 1997. Two years later, Peter Merholz, jokingly, dismembered the word to form a word, leaving "we blog", which was placed in the sidebar of your blog at the time. It also has the word "blog".

Currently, Brazil is the second in the number of blogs. Can you believe it?

Blogging can be deeper and know the real person's opinion. The tool can reveal whether the subject has a humorous side ever seen in person, you have good thoughts and ironic / sarcastic, and more.

The term Blog has evolved considerably since its inception. Previously, he was seen as daily and today has become a means of communication and expression of many newspapers, magazines, institutions and individuals. You can even profit from them.

Columnist Muriel Gagliardi made a special interview with Edney (Interney.net) on this subject. It is worth being read!

With language and bare possibility of focusing on what you want, the blogger has total arbitrariness in this field, can discuss politics, economy, making jokes, telling stories, poems, post drawings, etc.. Possessing this freedom, the author becomes increasingly want to honor your blog readers. However, access varies depending on the content posted. "Making a daily blog is not legal. Write where you went, what they ate, who was not applicable to almost anyone, unless you're a famous artist. Already making humorous texts, comics, jokes own making, ie, invent things, is quite interesting. People do not tend to like the posts copied "says Bruno Predolin, part of Teletub, famous comedy blog.

After making communities on Orkut and unexpected fame as B!, Bruno and some friends decided to create a blog with novel ideas. "I, Sergio (Kone) and Danilo Miranda were talking about having a blog different from what already existed, without copying any content funny lugar.Queríamos create our own content and having our language. So much so that the public is not Teletub mass. Despite more than four thousand hits a day, it is very select, because there are few who can understand, why are some posts with several spelling errors and other português.Há nearly impeccable in a range of styles of the members who post, just to please those looking for something that does not have a canned humor so how many other blogs out there, "he says.

Danilo Miranda says that the blog serves to express and share thoughts. "These are things that will crescendo in the head with time in parallel. I see something on the street, I think of a subject, a sentence, and after some time (days, hours) comes another thing on the same subject, until an hour or I will write or turn a Zorra Total in my head (which would be a tragedy), "he says.

Have different personalities and write in their blogs, and creating a closer bond with the casual fan and player, and allows him to know a little about yourself and how you think.

Some journalists also write blogs, discussing various subjects. Folha de Sao Paulo, for example, has a page pointing to their journalists and their blogs. Veja magazine has a blog "Radar Online," where news is disseminated more quickly to those who do not have much time and want to keep well informed.

Children, in turn, not far behind. Native to the web, they grow up thinking comics, links and posts and think that email is "old stuff". An example is the case with Danny Dubner, 10, who three months ago created the blog Monica's Gang and Youth in the community of the same subject already has 600 registered followers. One of his posts (a video of the TMJ) was seen by over 1200 people. And they find it normal!

Today there are blogs on all subjects, with very interesting content. It's easy and fast to make one. We selected some of these blogs that are worth reading, according to their interest.

How I started

When I started on the Internet, more or less at the time the term 'blog' was invented, used this as a daily tool. Having a blog was a mere joke, to write what I did in days, stand there like texts, not to mention the decor with lots of gifs, pets, dolls and following the mouse jumping all over (who was well aware of what I'm talking about) . As always liked to write and express myself, I had several blogs and even learned a little HTML. Customize everything was beautiful, but somewhat useless.

After initial 'silly' blog, came developments such as the fotolog and then still videolog. Fotolog rocked! Dropped all the blogs to post a picture accompanied by text. I also had several fotologs. He also had videolog that was not as successful, but still, many people joined.

The funny thing is that people often have several blogs or popular song, or by personal problems. For example, had a lot of pictures with her boyfriend and then finished on fotolog fotolog and excluded because there were "many memories of him." It looks like some Orkuts around, no?

In fact, these 'logs' of life are the precursors of various social media we use today, like YouTube, Flickr, Twitter and even blogs (which evolved). At that time, there was only one of these networks, and others that emerged took that space. But I think nowadays people really understood the concept of the World Wide Web and decided to expand their knowledge, every social destined for a specific subject, using them simultaneously, and sometimes one of these media houses all of the other tools, for such as Flickr, which along with photos, has blog, friends and communities to add to your profile and space to post videos.
