] For those of you who don't know, there is a revolution
] underway-and it's underground. A movement of would-be
] journalists, reporters, and creative thinkers are
] publishing article after article, (some of them read by
] thousands of people a day) on the internet. These online
] writers are called "bloggers", and the columns and
] articles that they write are called "blogs."
]
] If the mainstream news is provided by the more
] traditional sites along the information superhighway,
] (CNN.com, MSNBC.com, etc.) blogs are the frontage roads
] which enable the reader to go just as fast and reach the
] same destination all while getting the feeling of
] choosing the "road less traveled."
]
] The word "blog" comes from two words, actually; "web" and
] "log." A blog is an online journal (web log) of sorts,
] except that the blog is shared with the world, not just
] future posterity
