Blogs are online diaries, usually kept by individuals, but sometimes by panies and other groups of people. They are the fastest growing types of website on the Inter. A blog differs from a traditional website in several ways. Most importantly, it is updated much more regularly. Many blogs are updated every day, and some are updated several times a day. Also, most blogs use special software or websites, which can help ordinary people easily set up and start writing their own blogs. There are many different kinds of blogs. The most popular type is an online diary of links where the blog writer surfs the Inter and then posts links to sites or news articles that they find interesting, with a few ments about each one. Other types are personal diaries, where the writer talks about their life and feelings. Sometimes these blogs can be very personal. There is another kind of blogging, called moblogging, short for mobile blogging. Mobloggers use mobile phones with cameras to take photos, which are posted instantly to the Inter. The use of mobile phones in this way made the headlines in Singapore when a high school student posted a movie he had taken of a teacher shouting at another student on the Inter. Many people were shocked by what the student did, and wanted phones with cameras to be banned from schools. Many people think that as blogs bee mon, news reporting will rely less on big media panies, and more on ordinary people posting news to the Inter. They think that then the news will be less like a lecture, and more like a conversation, where anyone can join in. 28. Which statement about Salam Pax was true? A. He worked for CNN. B.
