What is a blog?

I believe a blog is a place where a person can express his or her thoughts. This place is expresses a persons view on a subject in the form of writing and is meant to be seen by others on the free floating database we call the internet.Blogs can be formal or informal, but most tend to be informal. Blogs are opinions on ones life or on other events happening out side of our personal box in life. Basically a blog is where ideas on a topic are expressed, read, commented on, and discussed.The blog world is huge. One can spend hours jumping from one blog to the next, reading up on one topic, but a thousand opinions. Blogs are part of a large ocean of opinions and information, its up to the reader to chose where to dive and what fish to catch.
