"The Information Will Be Bloggerized"

»A new internet's interative technology is attracting all kind of people, and becoming famous in the virtual world«

Have you ever heard about log? According to the "Longman's Dictionary of English", (to) log is an official or unofficial record of events or facts. Well, based on this idea internet users have made homepages where they 'logged' their lives, and thoughts. It was the first step for the 'blogs'.
The word 'blogger' comes from web-logger, a nickname for the sites which provided the hosting for the 'blogs'.
Basically, the blog is a webpage which uses special tags, that allows the owner to post texts, images and eventually small files. Often, the bloggers offer the option for the visitors to comment the posts.
Usually, people that make these webpages are looking for a way to canalize their frustrations: just like analysis, but cheaper.
Researches estimated that the first blog was created in 1998, and then on it has become famous.
As you will note in the following interview, with the owner of the Dogz Life page, the administrators of the blogs usually make jokes about everything, and they try to pass the image of the character which was created for their weblogs.
