 • BLOG
- In 1994, when blogs began, a blog was more of a personal diary that
people shared online. In this online journal, you could talk about your
daily life or share about things that you were doing. Then, people saw
an opportunity to communicate information in a new way online. Thus
began the beautiful world of blogging.
- A blog (a shortened version of “weblog”) is an online journal or
informational website displaying information in reverse chronological
order, with the latest posts appearing first, at the top. It is a platform
where a writer or a group of writers share their views on an individual
subject.
- A website containing informational articles about a person’s own
opinions, interests, and experiences.
- The main purpose of a blog is to connect you to the relevant audience.
History of Blogging:
1994: First blog created by Justin Hall on Links.net
Hall created the first blog at Links.net, which contained “essentially a review of
HTML examples he came across from various online links,” according to HubSpot.
The term “blog” had not been coined; Hall referred to it as his personal
homepage.

1997: The term “weblog” was coined by Jorn Barger

Other people followed in Hall’s example and shared their personal lives online.
Jorn Barger coined the term “weblog” to describe these sites; the term reflected
the process of “logging the web” as he browsed, according to Webdesigner
Depot.

1998: Open Diary was launched

Open Diary introduced a community approach to blogging that allowed
members to comment on others’ work.

1999: Peter Morholz shortened “weblog” to “blog”

Morholz later headed up design at Groupon and OpenTable.

1999: Blogger was created by Evan Williams and Meg Hourihan

The blogging platform Blogger launched, opening up opportunities for people to
publish online. LiveJournal and Xanga followed in 1999 (Xanga originally began
as a social network but added blogging features in 2000).

enhance the slide and provide different viewing styles. Transitions can
include words fading in or out of view, words sliding into view from the
left, right, top, or bottom of the slide, and others.

from viewers when done correctly.

• TAG CLOUD
- A visual stylized arrangement of words or tags within a textual content
such as websites, articles, speeches, and databases.
- A tag cloud, also known as a word cloud, wordle, or weighted list, is a
visual representation of the most popular words (or tags) found in free-
form text.
- Tag clouds are a way of organizing content which helps users see what
the most common topics are. In a tag cloud typically the tags with the
largest font size are the ones which are used with the most
items. Smaller tags are associated with fewer items. Clicking on one of
the tags in the cloud will take you to all the content labelled with that
tag, meaning it is a quick way to see a lot of information on a topic.
- They are called clouds because the tags are often presented together
in a way that gives the group a shape similar to a cloud.

 - A video presentation is a popular format of multimedia content with a
duration of several seconds or minutes that shows the benefits of a
product, service, or any idea with the help of interesting graphic images,
concise text, and appropriate narration.

Why make a video presentation?

- Persuasive. Video presentations are better able to persuade their target
audience through audio-visual design, storytelling, bringing emotions,
ideas, and sounds into the mix.
- Better for information retention. Invisia reports that viewers retain 95% of
a message in video form, as compared to 10% when reading it in text.
Thus, educators often use video presentations within the framework of
the digital storytelling concept or when pre-installing new educational
material.
- Accessible anytime, anywhere. People love to spend time on their
phones and tablets, and they prefer to browse videos on them.
Emarketer found that 75% of all videos are played on cell phones and
tablets.
- Time efficient. Video presentations are meant to enable the maker to
break down the data into smaller, easily processable chunks. This allows
viewers to explore larger amounts of information quicker and easier.
