When there was WWW, "World wide web", it was supposed that people all over the world will use it to communicate between each other - as though in virtual global village with simple-minded inhabitants. But it has turned out not absolutely how it would be desirable. Huge "buildings", like Yahoo, and infinite trading rows have transformed the Network into enough difficult construction. Blogs (regular diary or journal entries) have allowed to realise that, on what people assigned hope at the beginning of Internet development.
The blog is only a website on which the program is fulfilled, allowing to add new materials on a site . The majority of blogs is refreshed by one author and contains set concerning short dated records, as in network log or a diary. Some blogs are more difficult, records and maps are grouped on subjects, but the main principle is saved: records rather short also make often. There are interesting websites of the most different subjects - from political speeches to news from the world of art and ways of wipeout of containers with ice-cream.
The best blogs offer ultramodern journalism and remarks, are written by brilliant witty language. After all even the monkey who knocks on the keyboard as a result can print out Shakespeare's plays. If you spend by means of Google search for a word a blog or weblog and will enter some words characterising a subject interesting you, you will find someone who writes about it in the blog.
Blogs become more and more popular. My Yahoo service (http://my.yahoo.com), customised web page which you can create for yourselves on portal Yahoo, adds to the possibilities more and more such pages which are characteristic for blogs. Now you can make someone's blog a part of your page My Yahoo and use many fragments of your own page My Yahoo as blogs in collections which you gather in anоther place.
At usage RSS (Really Simple Syndication), a blog sphere lingua franca, it is possible to make a blog of any collection of the linked material on the Internet. For example, blogs of the company of Microsoft and Google are very useful to those who is engaged in engineering and appropriate business.
When you find one blog, it usually has references to other blogs. In search of one blog you will detect the whole dozen and before realise it, deeply will stick. Interesting blogs too much; it is impossible to watch all of them. Aggregate - the freakish word, is the program-store, is capable to save all your blogs in одгом a place where you can receive the latest news. Aggregates use RSS and to observe the new articles sent in blogs.
Here the short list of the sites offering the programs-agregatory. All of them are free.
Bloglines - the main site for those who intends to watch many blogs. To start operation in Bloglines, it is necessary to create the free account and then to specify to a site to add RSS-versions of blogs which you interest.
Newsgator more "business" trend offers about the same possibilities, as Bloglines. Newsgator allows to subscribe easily for set of the blogs specialising on news, on news posting of newspapers, information services. Newsgator also offers a folder for storage of "cuttings" and allows to publish the blog created on the basis of messages selected by you.
If you intend to read only blogs, My Yahoo not the best variant for this purpose. However if you already use My Yahoo because of all that offers this portal, to add to its rich contents some RSS-channels (or the set of RSS-channels) is possible very simply. You can even ask, that Yahoo has created for you the custom channel which will switch on the messages, containing the keywords specified by you.
If you consider that you want and can create interesting blogs - forwards!!!! And good luck!
