The term "blog" is essentially a condensed version of the term "weblog." Early internet users might use these weblogs to "record" the events of their days in diary-style posts. Because blogs frequently allow users to leave comments, communities sprang up around successful blogs as they became more popular.

The capability of building communities with this tool, made many entrepreneurs to realize the marketing possibilities of having a blog, as they did with other internet-based developments, and the adoption of blogging among the business sector helped to expand the medium's appeal. A blog can be used not only to market a business, but it can also be utilized to start a home business.
