What is a blog? For purposes of this introduction, it is simply a narrative written by people with opinions on something. The opinion can range from politics to ramblings on a recent trip to some location. If you consider traditional media, blogs are essentially letters to the editor in the newspaper. In this case, people using the web are the newspaper and there is no editor defining the content written.
Blogs are one of those things that are given far more credit than they really deserve. Yes, you have probably heard of famous blogs and bloggers. They are, however, a small minority of the total blog community. 99.9 percent of blogs are junk and never read by anyone other than the author. In fact, blogs are becoming harder to find than they used to be. The reason has to do with the realization that most of them will never be read so what is the point of spending time on them? From a marketing standpoint, this was not always the case.
