Blogs, blog and user space, there is still a big difference

Blog | difference

Blogs (blog) and online diary (Webdiarty), personal space (userspace), these new online gadgets originally from a word web-log, that is, the weblog today, simplified into a blog, but in fact, there is a big difference. The author would rather distinguish it, because these are fundamentally different in the business model of the custodian, although their mix numbers are today called blogs.

In the understanding of Chinese, it is impossible to distinguish between Journal and Diary. Therefore, it is easy to put the blog called the Net Record, online diary, go with and imagine to put diary online--there is a puzzling question: at least in the author's opinion, diary and love Letter, is the world's most unwilling to let everyone see things, put it online? What's the good of it?

The author does not want to prove that the diary net has no future--just the product of some mistaken understanding, though, I do think so. The author in this article is hoping to remind the new blog users, journals and diaries, from the point of view of the work, not the same thing. It can be said that the diary is a private thing, and the blog is public-oriented things. Blog is the use of the Internet to achieve the media to implement the personal publishing tool, it can be an individual posted on the Internet bulletin, work logs, personal newspapers, personal published magazines, novels ... , such as the beauty of the blog, should be seen as a personal release of pornographic sexual literature, not just a diary.

Personal space, however, is more a product of diary (private information) and public release (public-oriented), which is a further derivative of the blog, but has not much relationship with the media release in general understanding. Therefore, when the current blog flying, the first to be clear, that is the blog, or the net, or user space. According to the author's division, the world's several well-known custodians, blogger/blogspot (the United States, the largest), Blog-city (Britain's largest), and creative are standard form of blogs, Chinese Blogchina and so on are also standard form of blog, But now it seems to be more towards userspace, like MySpace, the world's most users of the user space, and MSN userspace six-degree space, and so on, also belong to this category;-but if the purpose of blogging is to be personal, These userpace are indeed "better to play", but are not seen as good personal publishing tools.

The key is, when you blog on the Internet, what is your purpose? When a blog site provides a blog service, it also needs to be considered clearly, what do you want users to do with your blog? Like nothing is bad, this is the author's experience, the most improper is MAS, is not a good thing.
