A blog (a portmanteau of the term web log)[1] is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web
and consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in
reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears first). Until
2009 blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of
a small group, and often were themed on a single subject. More recently
"multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large
numbers of authors and professionally edited. MABs from newspapers,
other media outlets, universities, think tanks, interest groups and
similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic.
The rise of Twitter and other "microblogging" systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into societal newstreams. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
