publishing

The blogging revolution has enabled many young writers to publish their work somewhere where it will be idealy read by lots of people.

In an article by Owen Gibson, he says, “Millions of young people who have grown up with the internet and mobile phones are no longer content with the one-way traffic of traditional media and are publishing and aggregating their own content, according to the exclusive survey of those aged between 14 and 21.”

He goes on to say what the most common uses of the Internet for people this age are.
They include communicating with each other (MSN messenger etc), online communities and downloading music.

Blogs have become the easy alternative to designing a whole website. People who didn't speak HTML, were put off of becoming internet savvy becuase it was all too hard. Blogging is an easy way for people to publish their work online.
