Who Is A Blogger?

A blogger is someone who blogs. A blog is nothing but a web log. The term blog became popular in the late 1990s. Usually people use blogs as a kind of online diary for every one to read. They try to document their day to day activities. Most of the popular email providers also provide space for people to maintain their blogs.

Blogs are gaining in importance by the day because of the easy accessibility and the potential of being read by millions of people on the Internet. In fact marketers are using blogs to sway the opinion of the people in favor of their products. There have been many defamation suits against bloggers because of the risk that their opinion might be accepted by a lot of other people. There has been a move in certain countries to have blogs censured or even banned. Blogs played a big part in bringing home pictures and stories of the war in Iraq.
