In “Web of Influence” in the book BLOG! by David Klien and Dan Burnstein I really enjoyed reading one informational paragraph that started on page 84 and ended on page 85. The paragraph basically explains what a blog is and little bit of its history. I liked the part where it said in 1999 there were an estimated 50 blogs and in 2004 there were somewhere between 2.4 million to 4.1 million! My point is that it is so crazy that between those five years so much could change. I think that this paragraph is important because it really shows how blogs have advanced. The paragraph also speaks about what exactly blogs are. If someone didn’t know what a blog was they could read this paragraph and get a great understanding of what it really is. For example they say “They are usually presented as a set of “posts,” or individual entries of news or commentary, in reverse chronological order.” In short, this paragraph is important because it addresses every aspect of a blog from someone who may have no idea what a blog is.
