A Web site where an individual maintains a personal journal or even an interactive forum much like a personal newsgroup.The vast majority of blogs, or so it seems, are pretty silly electronic diaries posted by adolescents. Many blogs, however, are quite serious. Some companies maintain public blogs to foster dialogue amongst employees with respect to projects, strategies, and other matters of interest. Some blogs take the form of well-researched personal opinion columns on politics or other controversial and weighty subjects. See also WWW.
