Blogging
Blogging is a social networking tool that individuals can use to post regular entries to the Web. Visitors can also post comments after each blog entry. The owner of the blog has some control over who can view and comment on the entries.
Blog followers can subscribe to receive emails when a blog is updated or followers can also subscribe to the RSS feed to receive updates. One advantage of using a blog versus creating a website is that the Web editors in most blogging applications are very simple to use and do not require any HTML or other programming knowledge.
