I think you’ve pretty much “hit the nail on the head” so to speak. It started out as a log – like the system logs on your computer – to journal things and greed has taken over and made a blog into something completely different….look at all that WordPress does and with magazine style themes and whatnot, I’m not sure that calling many of these sites blogs is even accurate.

@Proxy – now that is the wrong approach to be taking. Most “I blog to make money” blogs fail miserably.

Who cares what a blog is, as long as we can make money off it.

Hey Tom, Great post, I have looked up the definition of blog too several months ago. I came up with the one that Dollar Dude came up with from the Wikipedia. I find it surprising that when you do a spell check the word “blog” is underlined and will ask you if you mean bog or several others that you can pick from. I guess Microsoft or Bill Gates didn’t anticipate this one coming down the internet pike. But you would think it would be changed by now. I will get in touch with you Tom in a week or so with some questions for the interview I want to do on you. It will be a very easy interview nothing personal, and just a summary of how/when you first started out blogging and a couple of things like that. No sweat. Thanks for agreeing to it.

Well, for me… blog is like an outlet for some, while it is considered as a business for others. :)

I think you’ve totally forgotten the wikipedia.org to get a definition for a blog.

A blog (a contraction of the term “Web log”) is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual [1], with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Hope this will be useful to (y)our readers…

Hmmm, it has never crossed my mind to ask what a blog is. Personally I think a blog is a reflection of my thoughts on a certain issue that are open for public discussion.

I read a book called do it yourself blogging a while back and it gave the history of the “blog”.

I am paraphrasing since I don’t have the book in front of me, but it said something to the extent that before blogs were blogs they were web logs, and rather than being online diaries they were place people would simply list or log sites that they found useful.
