What is a blog? (history)

Blog is an internet platform that you can share experience with others, and contact with others.
It is a publicly accessible personal journal for an individual which reflects the personality of the author.
HISTORY:Blog is from “Weblog”.The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger on 17 December 1997. The short form, "blog", was coined by Peter Merholz, who jokingly broke the word weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com in April or May 1999. Shortly thereafter, Evan Williams at Pyra Labs used "blog" as both a noun and verb ("to blog", meaning "to edit one's weblog or to post to one's weblog") and devised the term "blogger" in connection with Pyra Labs' Blogger product, leading to the popularization of the terms.

Legal and social effects/concerns/consequences/impacts/influences (both positive and negative ones)

Positive:

You can know more things on blogs. For example, if you want to go to a restaurant you didn’t know before, you can search online, and there will be some bloggers share their experiences and thoughts about the service and food. And that could be your reference.

Negative:

There may also be some bullying. If you don’t like someone, you may just blame and despise the one you don’t like online. Because you are an anonymity online, when you take it out, you may hurt that one and not to notice that you make a traumatic experience in their mind. Sometimes this is the cause of social cases.
