Weblog:

Weblogs are website that contain frequently updating of posts, links or videos providing some information. Weblogs are also called as blogs. Blogs contain hyper links which direct us to other blogs. When these blogs are connected to each other and information is been shared among each other blogs then together they form a web blog. ( Mark Brady 02, 2005).

In my view by putting once ideas on the web, makes every buddy to read and share his knowledge with others(Distributing Knowledge). Webblogs can be created by more than one one author, and they are called as collaborative blogs. First texts are edited by hand in HTML (hypertext mark-up language) and then they are uploaded to web server manually. By linking one blog to another, readers can easily find more information they need. (Making Knowledge easily usable).

At the end of the blogs an option for comments are provided. It is the section where visitors who read the page can give they opinion to the owner of the page. Since the weblog page is readable by anyone, they are also allowed to post they comments. This will act like feedback to the owner of the weblog. This in turn will act like knowledge sharing (Readers who gave they opinion).

For example I have created a blog on Knowledge management and linked my blog to other blogs created by my friends. This weblog is made public to every buddy, so that this information is been read by every buddy through internet. By this way all the information I want to share with others can be easily accessible.

  1. Leela,

    This is to help you. I think this is weak, you should refer to Aboubakr coursework criteria mark. Although I see your position but I do not see the correlation link to CoP and organisation or impact - this applied to personal level -do you think? You should do some more background reading on weblog if this is going to be one of your articles.

    One literature reading is not enough to support or provide any form of critical analysis because there is no others to analyse or compare against.

  2. You need to put your references in a Harvard Format in the reference list and provide in-line citations where appropriate to give credit to the author(s)….

    Look at Aboubakr Blog "Referencing Section"

    Good Luck
