Web Pages vs. Blogs

When exploring the differences between web pages and Blogs, a few key points arise. The first is the purpose of the content. Web pages have historically been designed as a means of communicating with an audience and showing them your information/products/services. Blogs by comparison are often times topic or person-centered. The second major difference is the means of communication. Web pages are generally a one-way street where ideas and information are communicated to the audience with little interaction or feedback. Blogs by comparison are built upon not only 2-way communication, but in many cases connect a multitude of people all commenting on others posts and comments. Finally web pages are generally static objects that only change when the web master chooses to update or change them. Blogs on the other hand are incredibly organic, shifting and changing as the posts and ideas being exchanged expand.
