“Weblogs are to words what Napster was to music.”

Blogging has definitely exploded since 1994 when it was sometimes called the inspired writings of online diaries(Sullivan, 2002). Sullivan (2002) goes on to say that there are blogs for just about anything anyone cares to talk about and that blogs can be as well sourced as journalism but have the immediacy of talk radio.
It is refreshing to be able to remark to the commentator about his/her article even if it is online; at least one can express an opinion. Just listen how often someone watching a television program or listening to radio talks to the program, they know that their remarks cannot be heard but it feels good to express their opinion. When people read news articles or magazines the conversation is one sided ;readers often doubt the credibility of the source, blogging allows for an exchange of information.
The internet allows bloggers to reach millions of people across the globe for free other than the cost of the internet provider; blogging is a forum that can be used for entertainment, exchange of information, conversation ,sell products, act as support groups, and also promote many other types of products, the options seem endless.
