Blog的正解

關於Blog的正解是什麼,也有朋友追問我。
我查到的資料整理了一下給他,轉貼給大家:

blog 是由 weblog 縮寫而來產生的。Log 一般是指電腦在運作時,所產生的紀錄檔。

weblog 名詞的由來,是源自Jorn Barger的Robotwisdom.com 網站。 1997年開始,Jorn Barger 會在自己網站的首頁,貼上大約20至30個他認為有趣的連結,並且在每個連結旁邊附上簡單的介紹,讓點選連結的人,在還沒轉換陣地前,大概知道一下該站可能的內容。Barger每天更新,一次通常會有5~10個新連結。接著,Barger在首頁上一連串的連結底下,開始針對自己貼出連結所帶來的內容,以類似日記的方式,抒發個人想法。1997年12月,Barger將這樣形式的紀錄,稱之為weblog。許多拜訪過他網站的人,漸漸地接受這樣的形式的網頁,除了開始建立自己的weblog之外,也繼續的沿用weblog這個名詞。

1998年開始,weblog的數目慢慢地開始成長,Peter Merholz (http://peterme.com) 半開玩笑的把weblog發音成「we-blog」,這樣一來,weblog聽起來成了「we-blog」( 我們blog)。於是,blog 這個簡單好記又好念的縮詞,就這樣沿用下來。

Ariel Jacobs- Me Myself and I: An Introduction

Hello All!

I’m Ariel one of the new Fulbright English teachers. I just recently graduated from Reed College in Portland, Oregon in Art History, but my family hails from California. This is my first time in Taiwan, though I studied Chinese for two years. So far its been great: we’ve been met with lots of warmth and support. I look forward first of all to teaching, but also to riding a motor scooter, tasting all the good food I can find and exploring all of Taiwan’s natural beauty. Most of all I look forward to meeting new and exciting people here in Taiwan.
