Become A myITforum Blogger

A WebLog (Blog) is simply an online version of a diary (The Diary of Anne Frank) or journal (The Journals of Henry David Thoreau) that is hosted or published on a public facing web site. The popularity of blogs has skyrocketed in the last year albeit some claim that blogs are just a passing fad and the bubble will soon pop for sites such as LiveJournal, MySpace, Blogger and BlogSpot. This may prove to be true in time however technology sites such as http://myitforum.com/cs2 and http://blogs.msdn.com are more focused on providing information as opposed to sharing dairies, journals or pictures like many of the mainstream sites mentioned above do. Blog pages like user forums or E-Mail distribution lists will be around for quite some time to come because of the sharing of information they provide to their respective audiences.
