A “blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a“blog”.The word “blog”is a short way of saying Web log,or personal Web site.Anyone can start a blog,and they can write about anything they like.
There are millions of blogs on the Internet today.They provide news,information and ideas to many people who read them.They contain links to other Web sites.And they provide a place for people to write their ideas and react(反应)to the ideas of others.
A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3000 Web logs.It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more thma 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.
However,some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas.For example,the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recent]y started their own blogs.And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.
At the same time,some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week,blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service,weblogs.com.He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago,and thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing.
