Blogging, what is it?

If you are reading this, then you have arrived at a blog, below is a summary of what blogging is and how it has changed modern mass media.

Google Chrome OS

Apparently Google is going forward with their Operating System, now I am not a Google, Microsoft, or Apple fan boy. I believe that some products are better suited for certain tasks than others.
