The blog, the origins of the social
Later and after the need to communicate and interact as an inherent part of development, is fully materialized with the emergence of the blog or also called weblogs mid-90s, and which arise as personal journals where network users shared their stories and experiences.

Blogs begin to take on new roles and leave the bad personal character to become many cases thematic, sectoral publications under a professional profile. Blogs begin to be a business.
