Whats the difference between Facebook and Blogging?
It is uncommon for individuals today in society to not know what Facebook is. Whether we have our own account or witnessed others accounts, we are very familiar with it. Facebook provides us with entertainment, easy access to friends and family, and a sense of escapism. The question that arises is, whats the difference between Facebook and a blog? I must admit that I didn't know the difference when immediately asking the question, so I decided to investigate a bit. I read an article that perfectly described the differences between a blog and a website such as Facebook. The link is provided below.
"What is the difference between blogging and a website"
The basic difference between a blog and a website is theoretically the difference in how data is being presented – the format. Apart from that, in practicality there is a fine line between a blog and a website, not much to ponder about however. There is some key differences between them and the=is should clarify as to what you should go with for creating and publishing your content.
blog is basically a web log that a blogger makes use for chronological listing of blog posts. A blog has the most recent content shown first followed by the previously updated content. A blog can be easily started with services like WordPress, Blogger, etc. and do not need you to start something from the scratch, providing you with the entire system including design templates.
A blog thrives on new content and more updated it is, the more attention it will get. That doesn’t mean tons of scraps will equal gold mine. Quality and regularly updated content are examples of a good blog.
Basic identification of Blogs:A chronological listing of blog posts.
- A commenting system that invites readers to participate in the communication and leave behind comments.
- Blog posts are archived by date, category, author, tags and sub-categories.
- RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds for posts and/or comments for feed-readers like Feedly, etc.
A website in return can be anything. Anything on the internet presented in HTML/CSS or Java/Javascript/Python/Php, etc. comprises of a website. A webiste may be complimented with a blog, but the home page would be more for browsing other pages and not just posts. Fully functional and eye-catchy websites are usually cost consuming tasks as you would have to build from the base up. However with platforms and services like Adobe Dreamweaver, you could build your own website.
A blog can be a part of a website, in the form of a separate page and linked to the homepage. A website is a bigger aspect and its limitations are little to none. A website could be anything from a single page to a 1 Billion-users social network (Say, Facebook).
