Blogs: Interactive Information

Blogs have grown in size and strength over the last few years.  They have even become a career path for many.  Blogs act as online journals that allow users to post information, commentary, or news on a multitude of topics.  Not only do they act as a media outlet, but they also foster collaboration between readers and bloggers; essentially acting as online community builders.  The major difference between blogs and websites involves the state of information on each.  Websites advertise information that is meant to remain more static and blogs, on the other hand, are constantly updated with new information.  As stated above, they also welcome input from readers that fosters more opportunities for interactivity.
