A blog [from weblog] is a website that consists of regular entries, and these entries could consist of anything: personal stories or commentaries, descriptions of events or happenings, etc. in various forms of media [e.g. text, pictures, videos, etc.] Blogging can be for personal use, business-based, or even for educational purposes [such as this one!] There are a plethora of websites dedicated to blogging, such as livejournal.com, xanga.com, and blogger.com. One of the best things about blogging is its versatility. Anyone can make a blog for any purpose. For example, someone may want to blog about all the local restaurants they've been to, and write reviews. A business may want to keep their employees updated on things going on within the company. A teacher may want their students to write their assignments on a blog. Blogging opens up a whole new world of communication.
Blogging could definitely, and probably has, enhanced the world of psychology. It's a great, quick and easy way to share information, both for giving and receiving. Researchers could keep a log of their studies and share their results, or even just someone interested in psychology could update new findings in the field. Blogs are easy to make and easy to follow. Blogs can also be personal or professional, giving different dynamics to reading about or reading the writings of psychologists.
Here's a link to one of my favorite video blogs [vlogs] on youtube.com. Her name is Michelle Phan, and she does makeup tutorials and makeup reviews. She does her videos from home with her computer, and is the third watched guru on youtube. I think that's pretty cool :]
