What is a Blog?
The word "blog" is short for "weblog", and it describes a website that's frequently and easily updated, showing the most recent information first. Blogs give users the ability to collect feedback from the community that reads the blog site. TypePad has helped thousands of people learn how to create a blog.
A better definition of blogging isn't about technology, it's about what the technology makes possible. Blogs are a safe, easy way to share information with the audiences that are important to you or vital to your business needs.
There are millions of blogs in the world, ranging from personal journals used to communicate with friends and family, to the large and growing number of business blogs used to help improve communications within an organization. Because blogging began in communities that were about personal expression, blogs are usually associated with having a more "human" or personal voice than the sometimes impersonal tone found on corporate websites.
In short, blogs establish relationships between a site's publisher and its readers, and their ease of use makes it easy to maintain that relationship over time.
