Blogging is very hard to define and there are numerous definitions. What started out as an online diary or ‘web log‘ is now more of a platform for personal comment and opinion or distribution of news and information. There are millions of personal and business blogs. Just like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, business blogs can be used to help achieve corporate objectives, increase traffic to a website or to build brand visibility. In fact Twitter is known as a microblogging service due to the fact its messages are restricted to 140 characters. Blogs tend to be more personal and informal that content found on corporate websites or in press releases. They give business and thought leaders an opportunity to express their views. They are also used to announce new products and services, to explain and clarify policies, or to react to public criticism on certain issues.
