] It's sad to say, but I've become addicted to blogs. And I
] guess that if I'm going to become addicted to anything in
] college, a blog - no matter what you think it sounds like
] - is one of the best things to become addicted to. So
] what is it, you ask?
]
] Look up the term in most English dictionaries, and you
] won't even be able to find it. In fact, my spell check
] doesn't even recognize the word.
]
] Turn to the Internet, however, and you'll find an
] abundance of blogs. The website marketingterms.com's
] definition of blog is "a frequent, chronological
] publication of personal thoughts and Web links." It
] further says that it "is often a mixture of what is
] happening in a person's life and what is happening on the
] Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there
] are as many unique types of blogs as there are people."
] In simpler terms, it is a web log.
]
] My blog of choice is LiveJournal. On that host, I have
] found many interesting people. But the catch is, I don't
] really have to know them. I can peruse through days and
] days of people's inner thoughts and daily happenings with
] just the click of a mouse.
