What is a Blog?
A blog is something like a personal journal posted on the web and usually shared with public. It is short for Web Log. It can have different topics of interest and thus will be designed for particular public.

How are they used?
The owner or author of the blog is called a blogger and the method of posting information on the web is called blogging. The blog is updated daily by the author and it also usually has the option for response from the readers letting them participate directly in the discussion and post comments or directly email the author with any thoughts and suggestions they have.

Why are they used?
Blogs are mostly used for personal purposes, like making a friends? page, classmates? page or a page for a particular group, like a fan group and etc. Blogs can also be used for business purposes, which is not so popular yet. They can be a perfect way to communicate with the customers and inform them of events and facts interesting to them. The blog can be a good place to put ads and promote new products or services of interest to the particular group the blog is created for.

What age group uses them?
There are free blogs and paid blogs, where the paid blogs have more web space and the option to be ad free. The paid blogs can be purchased by small and big businesses who can spend money to support the blog and keep it running, where the free blogs can be used by anyone for personal uses that do not require a lot of web space and support. And because some blogs are free that makes them available to anyone from any age group.
