What Is A Blog?

From my current understanding, I recognise a blog as angry, shouty people ranting about things over the internet so that they're equally as angry and shouty followers can read it and agree without actually bothering to do anything about the subject they're getting angry and shouty about. Or they contain content that a very small population actually have an interest in, since the content isn't socially considered as "cool".

This link is a perfect example. A blog ran by a woman (and probably also her many, many cats) about soap opera's. Now, persoanlly if I wanted to know what was happeneing in a soap opera I would watch the re-run's or an omni-bus or something and not read some lady's chronological documentation on what happened.

Whilst there have been blogs which I have seen before and actually enjoyed the content, most of the one's I've seen have been run by people that match the criteria of my earlier statement.

I'm sure however that through writing this blog and following others that my view will change over time.
