Blogs and social networks are inextricably linked in that they both contain certain characteristics and properties of each other. Both aim to create a broad movement in multimedia interaction. While it's true that blogs can be regulated and kept very private, their main purpose is to reach a certain number of people, to have a way to express your opinion. Another similarity is that these two concepts have been around in cyberspace for almost a decade now, but in the beginning they were rather exclusive of each other. Only recently have they been merged and their similarity in patterns recognized. Blogs are basically meant to channel your thoughts into an online journal. You also want other people to read what you've written. This way you get in touch with people from all over the world that you wouldn't have known otherwise. Similar is the function of social networks. It is a hub where the young and the brave affluent. The chances of getting an audience on such a platform are high. The origin of the term "blog" is interesting. It was initially called a "weblog", meaning a diary or diary or diary that helps you record your day-to-day thoughts. In this sense, it was rather in its primitive stages and did not immediately turn into an instrument of propaganda. This term was later abbreviated to blog and that's when free blogging services like Blogger became extremely popular. As mentioned earlier, blogging today is more than just journaling. It has really become a platform where different types of people from all walks of life, whether they were of the same ideologies or not, merge together and discuss issues that they think are important to them. The blog in the 21st century has become an important advertising tool for people who want to market their products online, for politicians who want to sell their ideologies and reach the masses. Moreover, creating a blog and maintaining it does not require a fortune. Everyone now has a personal blog and it's all free. Also, it is not necessary to be a computer engineer or graphic designer or web designer to embellish your blog.
