Genesis. A beginning of something.
Everything will always have a beginning. From a simple race (starting line), a basketball game (tip-off or jump ball), a simple message (heading), and even opening this computer to start this blog (switching on the computer). This blog-thingy was introduced and kinda "forced" us to make this. A project to be exact. But to think of it. Why shouldn't I try this blog-thing. To think of it, the first time I heard this blogging mania is when I was in my high-school days. Different blogs have already started to pop-out of nowhere and kinda started a commotion leading to a very drastic change to many people. But before I elaborate this more. I would like to show you the a little bit history of blogging. ^^
" History of Blogging"
-www.Wikipedia.org-
Before blogging became popular, digital communities took many forms, including Usenet, commercial online services such as GEnie, BiX and the early CompuServe, e-mail lists and Bulletin Board Systems (BBS). In the 1990s, Internet forum software, such as WebEx, created running conversations with "threads." Threads are topical connections between messages on a metaphorical "corkboard."
The modern blog evolved from the online diary, where people would keep a running account of their personal lives. Most such writers called themselves diarists, journalists, or journalers. Justin Hall, who began personal blogging in 1994 while a student at Swarthmore College, is generally recognized as one of the earliest bloggers,as is Jerry Pournelle.[citation needed] Dave Winer's Scripting News is also credited with being one of the oldest and longest running weblogs. Another early blog was Wearable Wireless Webcam, an online shared diary of a person's personal life combining text, video, and pictures transmitted live from a wearable computer and EyeTap device to a web site in 1994. This practice of semi-automated blogging with live video together with text was referred to as sousveillance, and such journals were also used as evidence in legal matters.
In 1993, Dr. Glen Barry invented blogging, defined as web based commentary, linking to other articles. The "Forest Protection Blog" (originally entitled "Gaia's Forest Conservation Archives") at http://forests.org/blog/ was also the first political blog, as Dr. Barry campaigned there for forest protection and documented these efforts as his Ph.D. project[60]. The blog initially used the gopher protocol, and has been on the web continuously since Jan. 1995, making it the web's first and longest continuously running blog. Prior to this, Dr. Barry provided forest conservation materials via email and bulletin board since 1989. The work has since evolved into the world's largest environmental portals.
Early blogs were simply manually updated components of common Web sites. However, the evolution of tools to facilitate the production and maintenance of Web articles posted in reverse chronological order made the publishing process feasible to a much larger, less technical, population. Ultimately, this resulted in the distinct class of online publishing that produces blogs we recognize today. For instance, the use of some sort of browser-based software is now a typical aspect of "blogging". Blogs can be hosted by dedicated blog hosting services, or they can be run using blog software, or on regular web hosting services.

Blogging has indeed made a great impact in the lives of many people today. Blogging became a tool of self-expression to many people. They are able to express feelings on which they are not able to express from their own mouths. An outlet of one's mind and heart, bloggers will express emotions like hatred, happiness, triumphs and many other feelings that an emotion icon in the yahoomessenger could give. Though some are kinda vulgar in some extent, but we can't blame them. They are just expressing what they feel.
