differentiate
chatroom different from a blog?
Answers
Explanation:
A blog is an online piece written by someone for others to read.
It can be mostly factual, mostly opinion, or even just a
day-in-the-life diary entry. Comments from readers can often be
found following the piece; but interaction is minimal, usually
limited to replies (and replies to replies) separated in time by
anywhere from minutes to months.
A chatroom, on the other hand, is a real-time message board.
Conversation and interaction are the whole purpose; and very often
the original topic (if any) gets lost in the bantering and
side-interactions between chatters (a phenomenon known as
derailing).
In a sense, reading a blog is like listening to someone give a
speech or tell a story, while chatting is the online equivalent to
hanging out and having a back-and-forth conversation.
