>>>"Most folks online don't even know they are reading a blog half the time, and don't know what a blog is. This accounts for blog being one of the most looked-up words on the online dictionary sites."
>>>I entirely agree. I still don't know what a blog is and that article couldn't help me to understand either:) Actually blogs I visited didn't sound to me that "blog" was something that worths to learn about.

>>blog is just short for "weB-LOG", and means a place where you write down anything that comes to your mind. I understand it is more or less like a diary, but open to the public.

>>As such, it isn't really anything new, IMNSHO; many people have been writing whatever comes to mind into their Web-sites. What is new is: (1) the use of the term "blog", (2) a general trend to make it more available, in an organized way, to the public, through software, specially designed sites, etc.
