The Questions

a. Where did the word blog come from?
According to the author Sarah Boxer, the word blog comes from the two words "web" and "log" combined by Jorn Barger in 1997 (creating weblog). Then in 1999, a man named Peter Merholz, an author of a weblog, split the word like this, "We blog", and therefore the word blog was born

b. Why might the writer, Sarah Boxer, object to a book about blogs? What's the difference between a blog and book?
She might object to a book about blogs because blogs are read on the internet and it wouldn't make sense to write a book about blogs. The differences: A book is tight, a blog is reckless, books are slow, blogs are fast, books invite you to stay in between the covers, blogs invite you to stray, and books worry over copyright, and blogs grab whatever they want.

c. How have blogs changed recently?
I'm afraid I don't know.

d. Why might you read a blog instead of a magazine, book, or newspaper?
Perhaps because you want to read about someone's life on an online journal or read about something else that you cannot find in a magazine, or book, or newspaper.

e. Is there a reason to doubt the objectivity of a blog? Why or why not?
Yes, someone could have written or wrote something that sounded too absurd or was more likely to be unrealistic.

f. If you kept your own blog, what would you title it?
I can't think of a particular name but I would choose something mysterious, fun, or exciting.
