Are we blogging?
I here this term on TV a lot and not sure what it means.
We don't have a teenager at home anymore so no one to ask.
Is this considered blogging?
If not, what is blogging?
Thanks,

RE: Are we blogging?
No this is not a blog. Lots of people post here.
A blog is like a diary and is almost always written by one person. This is an example, it is the story of our travels around North America in a RV. [link=http://johncarolandcharro.blogspot.com/]CLICKY[/link]

RE: Are we blogging?
I have run across a number of blogs, some are written in style as if the writer were a newspaper reporter, and some, well, there are some very lonely people..
A blog could be many things, the best one to me are the diary style ones. I have one that outlined a trip I took a long time time ago. Remember when gas was less than $1 a gallon? I went coast to coast for less than $100, including hotels and meals..

RE: Are we blogging?
Blog Definition:
A blog (a contraction of the term "weblog") is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual 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.

I think it is border line, some buildthreads are essentially blogs while others are using this more as a chat site. Best name is forum I guess and then we are all foruming...

RE: Are we blogging?
OK.....I've always wanted clarification on "blogging" too. So,thanks guys! No I know this topic is off topic,but is helping alot of us,so I appreciate it. Now that we've covered "blogging"....
What is all this "Twitter" stuff about? Is it just a website for a bunch of people to post thier "blogs"? If so, are "tweets" (an short message on someones twitter page I guess) simply "blog" entries?

RE: Are we blogging?
alright, if you understand "blogging", which is basically writing a diary and posting it for the world to read, with no responses expected, "twittering" takes it to the next level, you write a "short" blog, then a mailing list is notified, i.e, the message "I just sneezed" is sent to 2.3 million people automaticaly
I should add that blogging is mainly an internet thing, where as twittering is a cell phone thing

Well, I don't consider myself an Old Fart, yet (my oldest is a senior in H.S), but I'm not as young as I look either . I'm probably in the minority in my generation, but I think the whole Twittering thing is ridiculous. People spend more time typing words onto tiny screens than it would actually take to call someone and talk to them personally. Blogging, on the otherhand, isn't so irrelevant. I've blogged a few times here on my Profile page. They're pretty boring. Just little glimpses into my thoughts about what I'm doing, or want to be doing. To me, it's just another way to get to know some of the people we interact with here on the forums, but never get the chance to meet face to face.
