The "BLOG" & the Music Biz

[Jay Maynes/Juan Oskar]

QUESTION Would the A&M Corner Forum be considered a BLOG? Does anyone have any ideas how I could use a "blog" on my up and coming new website? www.juanoskar.biz If the Corner Forum is a "blog" then I wouldn't need one. (Just tryin' to learn this net stuff) Thanks amigos...Jay

I don't think that the A&M Corner could be considered a "blog." It's not someone's personal thoughts and feelings; it's a bulletin-board type system dedicated to multiple users talking about specific subjects.

From what I've read, a "blog" is basically a personal diary published online. It's not limited to particular topics, and the whole point is that you talk about whatever you're feeling or thinking about at the moment.

Bulletin-board type discussions like the ones here have been around since the '80s -- "blogs" are a relatively recent phenomenon.
