Page "Social software" Paragraph 11
from
Wikipedia
Blogs mean many things to different people, ranging from " online journal " to " easily updated personal website.
" While these definitions are technically correct, they fail to capture the power of blogs as social software.
Beyond being a simple homepage or an online diary, some blogs allow comments on the entries, thereby creating a discussion forum.
They also have blogrolls ( i. e. links to other blogs which the owner reads or admires ) and indicate their social relationship to those other bloggers using the XFN social relationship standard.
Blogging has also become fashionable in business settings by companies who use software such as IBM Lotus Connections.
