The Differences Between Blogs and Diaries

There are many different types of online log databases.

Blogs and online diaries provide a large distinction between the kinds of log entry databases found on the internet. A major difference between blogs and internet diaries is that diaries are normally written as a daily planer and experience recorder, which provides emotional and personal content about events and occurrences. "oh man... i can't sleep... i'm so stressed out! i studied a little tonight, but i still have 2 more fizix chapters to read in order to catch up... then i still have to do calculus problems and if i have time maybe read some chem... the stress is really really bringing me down..." Meanwhile, a weblog may consist of important need to know information, a general studies essay, or a summary of personal information. "Simply stated, there are only TEN things that anybody needs to know about me." "In general, a move toward free trade does 3 things:" Moreover, a weblog normally contains content relating to a single purpose or activity, while a dairy may consist of an entire day's worth of activities. In general, a diary follows along as simply as a personal planner and daily information provider. However, a weblog can serve any numerous amounts of purposes that individually serve for a single reason.

Aaron,

I see you're getting some rude bloggers posting comments on your blog. You can remove their comments by clicking on the trash can icon under their comment.
