1. FOC. You can find many services will host blogs at no charge. There are several popular blog-hosting service available on the web such as Blogger from Google, Bloglines from AskJeeves and LiveJournal from SixApart which offer free basic hosting with extra features available for a monthly fee.
2.Blogs have given an outlet to anyone who feels his voice has not been represented in the mainstream media. Blogs enable anyone to become a micro-publisher virtually overnight.
3.Blogs are timely, allowing for content updates at any time without an editorial review and without sophisticated knowledge of web publishing. The immediacy of blogs gives them the leverage to pick up on breaking news stories and instantly create their own stories with new angles and investigations. In fact, the most popular blogs tend to be those that are updated often
4.There is a strong sense of community among blog writers and visitors. Because most blogs are not regulated by an editorial board or influenced by corporate interests, visitors rely on them for the unvarnished truth. They also value the transparency that blogs have. Unlike mainstream media, whose philosophy is geared toward keeping the audience on their own site, blogs thrive on posting links to other sites of interest, even other blogs that cover the same topic. The audience of one blog immediately has access to a wide range of opinions and styles.
