Blogs
[ IT ]
In the Internet jargon a blog is an on-line diary. The term is a contraction of web-log, that is “trace on web”. Since 1997, when the first blogs were opened in America, they have rapidly spread all over the world, and become a real trend. Many intellectuals opened their blogs, where they offer a day by day comment on the events affecting their fields of expertise. A selection of the most interesting blogs from an intercultural perspective.
