Text 01 (for questions 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25) BLOGGING

Do you have a blog? Do you know someone who does? Chances are you do. Blogging is one of the most popular forms of modern publishing. A Web log – or “blog,” – for short is a kind of online diary that features one person‟s ideas and opinions. The entries are updated regularly, and they can be from a few sentences to several paragraphs long. Blogs are usually about one main topic, such as politics, sports, or entertainment. The site often has links to other interesting Web sites, as well as a place for readers to post their own comments and feedback. 9 The first blogs were created in the 1990s to list the interesting sites people found on the Internet and comment on them. There weren‟t many blogs because a computer expert had to create them. However, this changed in 1999, when free blog-building software first became available. Suddenly, it was easy to start a site. Between 2000 and 2001, the number of blogs increased more than 600%. In 2005, there were more than 5 million blogs. What kind of person has a blog? Interestingly, more women than men have active blogs on the Internet. Less than half of all bloggers are men. In addition, typical bloggers are young. More than 90% of bloggers are under 30 years old. In fact, the average blogger is a teenage girl who updates her site every two weeks just to keep in touch with her friends about her life. People write blogs for other reasons, too. The Internet contains a lot of information, and it can be very helpful to find out which sites have more information than others. Many bloggers are people who want to share information about useful Web sites. Other bloggers are writers who want people around the world to read their personal ideas and opinions. People can publish their writing more quickly on a blog than in a book or magazine. Moreover, they are their own editor – they can publish whatever and whenever they want. Blogging is one of the fastest-growing forms of publishing, and because every blogger can have instant readers, blogging is probably here to stay! RIVERS, S.; FARNOAGA, G. Touchstone – Workbook 2.
