Differences between traditional web pages and blogs

Traditional web pages and blogs vary in a lot of ways, but there is one main thing that separates the two. Traditional web pages are a place where you go to GET information or ideas. You access these pages in hopes of reading about something you want to know about. There are web pages that allow you to comment and voice your opinion on the situation, but that's not the intent of the site. With blogs, these are places where you go to SHARE information or ideas. You as the content master are the one putting the information out into the world. An idea that you would like to share or even something you just wanted to let the world know is put out into a forum where anyone can follow to interact with. You become the moderator, allowing what you do or do not want to come into this community of idea sharing with your fellow bloggers. Instead of the web page dictating who can or cannot contribute, or even what can or cannot be said, you are in control of this power. Essentially, information is no longer dictated to you by Internet postings, but you dictate information to the Internet.
