The only essential characteristic that all blogs share is that entries appear chronologically — and that they are the anarchic antithesis of mainstream media. Blogs are the platform of choice for people moved to share their interests (or obsessions) with the world. You can find blogs on virtually any topic: The Hobart-Sydney yacht race, anyone? Estimates vary wildly, but experts say about 3 million blogs have been launched.
The most popular early blog was Slashdot (http://slashdot.org), started in 1997, with its “news for nerds” slogan. Blogs exploded last year, with the rise of political commentators on sites like DailyKos (www.dailykos.com) and Instapundit (www.instapundit.com).
