that they acquired the name 'blog' after a blogger, Peter Merholz broke what was then known as a weblog into two words 'we blog'.It took off in 1999 after the creation of easy-to-use tools like Livejournal, Blogger and WordPress and in December last year Technorati
announced it had indexed over 100 million blogs and was indexing 65,000 blog posts an hour. There are even blogs on gadgets for men
.Blogging has become big business, especially in areas like website development and gadget
news. The two biggest electronics blog sites, Gizmodo and Engadget, which both cover news on things like cool electronic gadgets, strange gadgets and cool spy gadgets attract 3.9 and 4.1 million viewers respectively according to a Wired
article and generate an incredible amount of traffic for the sites they link to in their blogs.
