Ok Charles. We all have a right to be wrong.

Ha! Just kidding my friend. Thanks for your comment and drop by again.

I think of blogging as simply a tool that enables an individual to publish content on a chronological series of discrete pages. It doesn't matter what type of content is on the pages as long as it is created by a human. From that point of view I would classify Twitter as a micro form of blogs. Even though each tweet is not an individual page, it's the same idea of a feed of constant updates on top of older updates.

@-=A.R.N.=-, I hear what you're saying, but isn't "blogging" also the medium that delivers the message? Otherwise we could just call it writing.

Well I guess in its simplest form a blog is, when you have something to say...and say it.

I don't make money on my blog, socialize or do political stuff - I just write what makes me happy.

There's nothing like a personal touch :-)

Loyalty is a character that I esteem highly more than most. As a blogger I've helped numerous people over the years. In fact I love to help people. I've offered it without any strings attached, and unlike my competitors I haven't tried to profit from it.

Most people just take what they can get then move on and never hear from them again with barely a thank you. But you my dear are loyal and for that I am truly honoured and appreciative.

You have also (might I add) turned into a prolific blogger and matured as a professional photographer. I hope you will remember me when your work is featured on National Geographic.

Much thanks and cheers!

If not for the helpful info on Blogbloke, I would have never had a blog of my own. I am forever grateful for the special attention you gave me when I was trying to figure it all out.
Thanks a million, you da man! Teri

I agree with the initial commenter, blogging means something different to every person. We all have reasons to blog. As potential readers of blogs we have the ability of searching out the blogs of interest and deciding if they are worth our time, and deciding if the posts are something we want to follow. Thanks!

I consider Twitter and Facebook the side dishes of my main meal, the blog. You put the side dishes on your plate, but it doesn't make a square meal without the steak.

Why must I always relate everything to food? I have a problem.

Whatever definitions there'll be for blogging, I say it's definitely one of the greatest internet innovations of all time.

You and me both Matt. It seems that some self-important poobahs think they can redefine anything they want. :-)

I hate how the term blog or blogging is applied to every user generated content on the internet. Forums are not blogs, chat rooms are not blogs. Not sure why but it annoys me.

I agree with you, writing on Facebook and Twitters can not be called as Blogging. Twitters just updates what are you doing write now ?, Where in blog is about what i feel, what i want to share, why i feel etcs.

No Twittering is not blogging, not matter what someone is
trying to make it into. Now a marketing tool yes!

Hi Shelia. That's how I use Twitter - i.e. for making short announcements, as a marketing tool or for linking. But still I wouldn't call that blogging. Would you?

It is not hard to see how twitter has supposedly morphed into micro-blogging, it is being used for everything else imagined, like fund raising selling real estate, spam, contests to get the most followers etc.

The Internet is a big forum with a lot of opinion and you can find one to fit what ever you want to agree with.

I like twitter for just the social chat stuff and I find some pretty great links from my twitterverse.

Thanks Mitch. So far it looks like the majority of readers agree on this point.

I don't believe calling Twitter "micro-blogging" is an accurate statement, and I certainly don't believe Facebook counts as blogging at all, so I agree with you on both counts. They're definitely part of the definition of social media, though, but in my opinion, Twitter solves that issue way more than Facebook. I mean, at least on Twitter you sometimes see the semblance of a conversation; that very rarely takes place on Facebook; that is, unless I'm too old.

Good points there Moneyac. Setting up a blog can be as easy or as complicated as you want. Especially a robust platform like Wordpress.

I agree with the "digital home" connotation. At least it's all mine.
