Blogs are wonderful. Most of us use them without realizing
it. If you are on Facebook or Twitter you are using a blog. Granted, Facebook
and Twitter are really micro blogs. But they are blogs none the less. Much of what is posted on Twitter is simply a
link to a regular blog. Facebook is a
great micro blogging platform for keeping up with friends and sharing your life
with lots of people at once. It is so popular because it has made it easy for
non-techies to upload pictures and give their thoughts in short snippets.
Google + is another of the micro blogging platforms available. Google + is
relatively new and under-utilized because Facebook got there first and people
are slow to change. I believe that Google + has some really useful features
that will make it more popular as time goes by.
While micro blogs are great, you are missing some great
information if you are not reading some full size blogs. Blogs are used by businesses to inform their
customers and to attract new ones. Individuals use blogs as a sort of public or
semi-private journal. Many individuals
use blogging as a sort of self- publisher. They have something to share with
the world and blogging is a great way to reach, potentially, almost everyone in
the world with their message.

The official title of this one is Four Guys and a Lady. This is probably my
favorite blog.
Do you have any blog recommendations for me? I’d love to
hear what your favorites are.
