Here are ten ways in my opinion that blogs have changed the Internet:
1. Blogs are making it easier for people to have their own website. A person doesn’t need to know html to have their own blog.
2. A person can set up a blog for free because of sites like blogspot.com and wordpress.com
3. More personal information is being recorded online than ever before. Personal diaries are now shared with many readers.
4. Internet marketing is adopting the blog as a tool of the trade. This will lead to less email spam, as well as much more updated product and service information. The end result of course will be more blog pages.
5. Blogs, like other Internet advances constantly evolve. We now have not only our traditional blogs, but also photo blogs, audio blogs (podcasts) and even video blogs, know popularly as vlogs.
6. With the advent of new blog styles we also have new Internet terminology related to blogs and blogging. Such terminology as rss - real simple syndication, podcasting - the use of audio files, XML - a form of code for use with rss, and many other new terms are becoming household words for the competive user.
7. Many companies are now using blogs to communicate with their employees.
8. A blog as communication tool means less email and less chance for that email message to be caught in spam filters.
9. Spammers now are working to find ways to use blogs to their advantage. An unfortunate side effect however, it is still a way in that blog technology is changing the Internet landscape.
10. And last but not necessarily least, with a blog you can provide updated content to any website that exists. Another technology due to the wonder of rss.

Excellent Article. Nice Keep it up.
Wonderful article. I have found that with a blog I have a way to vent about some things that nobody in my family wants to hear about.
Carol Fords last blog post..I Have Good News and Bad News Today.
Informative article!
You are right about blogs having changed the internet. Blogs provide a different dimension of space and time.For instance, Instead of waiting for your article for publication, you can blog about the article in your mind and people will have access to it immediately.
Blogs also function as a source of income. You won’t get rich from keeping a blog but you’ll earn money for jam initially. If you go farther though and learn from the internet gurus, you may even reach a point when you will be able to leave your 9 to 5 job and earn from your blogs like what I learn from bloggers who shift full time to blogging as a source of income. It’s not a rich quick venture but you can earn from blogging.
this is very informative! blogging is really everywhere, its the new way of expressing ourselves and sharing our experiences, thoughts and views in our lives. i also heard about blogging and earning money, its really a part of our lives. thanks for the information.
