Blogs
From RIBApedia
Blogs (an abbreviation of the term 'web logs') are essentially diaries written for and disseminated via the web. They started as a means for web surfers to make a note of websites and other web resources that they found useful, but quickly developed into creative outlets for users to also share their personal opinions on developments in their lives, organisations, occupations, work, etc. Senior figures within some organisations write 'corporate blogs' and many journalists also produce opinion pieces as blogs to augment their mainstream journalism.
