So, who else wants to know what a Blog is anyway?

I've done my share of Internet research over the past couple of days trying to come up with an answer to the above question. And though it seem to be no unified definition for this concept I managed to come up with some interesting facts and conclusions about this subject. Here I go.

A blog is a journal managed and published on the web and intended for public consumption. The term "blog" is in fact a shortened version for "web log" and was accidentally invented by Peter Merholz, who jokingly broke the word "weblog" into the phrase "we blog" in the sidebar of his website Peterme.com in April of 1999.

The entries of a blog are typically written in chronological order (as they happen) and are published in reverse order,...

...we tried to order Chinese food and they told us they do not have rice, not one kind and asked us kindly to order something else!

Chinese restaurants not serving rice... I never imagined I would ever hear this.

It's like Dreamstime telling people: "We do not have images today. Not even thumbs. Could you please just browse the pages and only read the keywords and description"...

RSS is a protocol based on XML used for syndicating and aggregating Web content; in fact RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. In simpler words it is a fast method to get content from different web sources (like news items, blog posts, comments and messages on forums etc) and either read it in a RSS client or directly displaying it onto your own site.

The beauty of it is that you no longer need to go to the site to see if there is anything new there but instead, your software checks it regularly and gives you a message when something new is posted, in a similar manner as your email client tells you when you've got new mails. It's a real time saver for those who try to be informed up-to-date from a lot of different sources.

You get the title ...
