Please what's this noise about 'blog'?  I find it difficult.  What can I do with blog and what it really depicts?  Is it the same as a forum?

Well depends on the way you look at it. A web log is short for weblog. A weblog is a journal (or newsletter) that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the Web site. 

Whilst forum is an online discussion group, where participants with common interests can exchange open messages.  The important message to get from this thread is that weblog and forum in my opinion is a emedia for information interchange with the common attribute for POM (Public Open Message).

It would be nice if this trend goes beyond emedia as in a criteria for looking for jobs etc and how much you have contributed towards the world. in any form.  I must admit, I do not have a personal blog yet but in future will consider having one as a way of sharing my own knowledge to the world.

I think I agreed with sbucareer it all depends on how you looked at it blog sometimes is about writing something about yourself the traditional ways of autobiography while forum is that of general and open source.
Have a look at this site www.naijablogvillage.com the name sound like webblog but its actually a web forum

Blogs, if you really know how best to use it, you can make some real dollars from it, well normally, it is just a place where you can just write about your hobbies, or what you find interesting!

but nowadays, people are making money with blogs through the use of adsense, you can really find out more about blogs and adsense and see how i do it for FREE in my blogs: here http://moretipstowealth.blogspot.com/ or here http:InternetMarketingProfit.blogspot.com/
