Blog is the Chinese translation of blog (blog is also translated into blog and blog), and English blog originated from weblog, which means weblog. 1997 was put forward by Jorn Barger. In 1998, Jesse J. Garrett, the editor of infosift, collected some similar blog sites and sent them to Cameron Barrett. Cameron then published the list on the CamWorld website, and many people successively gave the website of Cameron's blog. Slowly, a new online community was formed. 1999, Bridget Eaton set up a blog directory to collect the blog sites she knew. 1999, Peter Merholz first used the abbreviation "blog" and it has become a common term today. However, the turning point of blog's real rapid development was in June, when 1999, Pitas began to provide free blog service, and then in August, Pyra lab launched the present blogger.com. Blogger.com provides easy-to-learn instructions and the function of publishing blogs directly on personal websites through FTP, which brings great convenience to users. At present, there are many blog hosting service providers (BSP), and people in the industry are cautiously optimistic about their profit prospects.
