A: According to the author the word blog comes from other words that through time were together like Weblog and then split up into We blog , creating a word that could be used as a noun or a verb known as Blog.
B: Blogs are created in a way that the person acesses them and knows about the subject being blogged about. This is not helpfull to writing a book because of the links provided in a blog that you have to jump to if you do not know the information that is being blogged about. You would have to cram all the information into 1 big book covering diverse topics that only add a small part to your central topic. A book as opposed to a blog explains everything to the reader so that the reader does not have to go looking for answers elsewhere but are provided in the text.
C: Blogs are more accesable to more peple now and cover a greater amount of topics. At the same time that blogs become better some are used for negative purposes such as negative publicity and trashing on celebrities. Blogs are also increasing in number and adding more links and information into their posts.
D: They focus on a topic that you want to learn about and they dont mention other information that doesnt intrest you as much but goes directly to the point and only mentions information that concerns you.
D: You could doubt a blog because most are subjective on the topics they write about and could mix up personal opinions with true facts just to prove their point. By doing this the are subjective to their own opinions and not to others.
