How many of you fellow bloggers know that today, August 23rd, 2007 marks the eighth birthday of this fabulous website?
The term blog is a 'portmanteau' of the two words web and log. From a website to jot events in a chronological order, the blog evolved as an online diary for many people, a diary where people vented out and still didn't want it to be personal. The popularity of blogs grew so much in the past 15-20 years that the term "blogging" has taken its place in the English literature as a verb. Although there are so many other websites for blogging, I haven't seen one as popular as www.blogger.com. And the shot in the arm was when Google took over this website and has improved it to an awesome level.
The Blog has always been a representation of freedom of expression, and will always remain so, hopefully!
