Informed Guests

Pardon my ignorance but with all this who ha going on around the world about bloggers and the likes ( the Dan Rather incident) jolted my memory on the subject.

My QUESTION is what is the differance between a blog and a forum on the net like AR /// can some kind informed (technocrat geek) explain the main or key differances, or are they essentially one in the same beast

Peter

A blog is some B.S. written by one person, and a forum is B.S. written by a bunch of people.

A blog is like a personal diary (although written for public consumption).


Short for Web log, a blog is a Web page that serves as a publicly accessible personal journal for an individual. Typically updated daily, blogs often reflect the personality of the author.

Terry,

How is that different from what I said?

Actually not wanting to play with semantics or whatever the word is ....

I think 500G is correct in that us AR geeks are just a number of bloggers combined together all using the same BIBLE or BLOG SITE but reading from different chapters within the BIBLE and commenting across the whole spectrum as opposed to a certain specific theme ..

We FORUM guests just tend to jump across topics more and not always post daily BUT essentially there aint a lot of differance it seems between the two, at least from what I am starting to learn about them ??

Why the confused icon? I was answering Peter's question, not contradicting your reply.

Pithy. Very pithy!

I think the key difference between our bs and that of a person's blog is that we sometimes discuss things.
