Blogging is a way of sharing information and a form of online communciation to pass the message to internet users directly. It is a very public activity. Anything that gets posted on the internet stays there forever and helps internet users by bringing a large amount of information together for all to read and use and the same time saves a lot of time because all of the information is right at their fingertips.

Blogging is one of the few activities in business which you should not delegate.  Professional writers may be able to craft press releases, website content and the like but they cannot write your blog entries for you. This is because blogs succeed with human, personality-based touch. It is an easy way to publish fresh content online.

More valuable content means more visitors to your site. It allows anyone self-publish to anyone who can afford a computer and Internet access.  Blogging is becoming a fast and simple way to convey news and other information to others through the Internet.   Recently, there has been much discussion about how libraries may use blogging  to distribute info about library news and events to its users.
