I believed that blogs and weblogs were new and had only started to develop in the last five or so years. It was surprising to know that, while 1998 is extremely old that is a lot earlier than I thought. Once I learned that I felt a little disappointed, because to me it sounds like blogging has not really developed more technologically over the years. Where as we have seen huge growth in technology as a whole, minus blogs and weblogs. I personally feel that being able to post blogs with links now is not a huge step, now know how long they have been around for.
I was also a little confused between the difference of blogs and weblogs. To me it really does not sound like much. They are both online blogs, reflection spot, meeting places, a ways to bring people together. Which I believed was exactly what a blogs was and that there was not different sub-catagories of blogs.
One part of the article that was similar to the other article is trying to use blogs for the love it, as a space for uncorrupted and unfiltered relaxation. As a place to escape the day to day hustle and on slaughter of advertisements and ways to make money. But the slight variation to the way this article presents that message is they do not talk about making money off blogs and advertisement on those blogs. It instead mentions the advertisements as being everywhere else in your life so blogging should be one place they are not. But the other article's message, which is similar at the core, is to not blog with advertisements to make money but in turn because you love it as that escape. The same message at the core.
