Among other media resources on the net, blogs have become one of the easiest, cheapest, fastest publishing tools ever invented. They are type of frequently updated journals that mix personal opinion and daily life observations with latest news. Other than this they allow readers to contribute their thoughts and voice their opinions every time they want.The term "Weblog" was coined in 1997 by Jarn Barger whose site "Robot Wisdom" was an effort to log various sites he encountered on the web. In 1999, another user, Peter Merholz, playfully broke the word into "we blog", and somehow the new term-blog-stuck as both a verb and a noun. The blogs have finally matured from the geek niche to the internet's dominant publishing paradigm. The well-liked blogs of today attract increased traffic as compared to the websites published by big newspapers and magazines.Technorati, a popular internet search engine for blogs confirms that the "blogosphere" is doubling in proportions after every five months, with a fresh blog being created after each second. From teenagers to corporate executives, bloggers have their very own known reasons for engaging people in this pursuit. Mr Bhatia, who was involved with starting Hotmail, once said "Just as everybody comes with an e-mail account today, everybody could have a blog in five years".We find blogs on politics, gadgets, technology, business, marketing and a lot more. Being among the most popular blogs, mobile blogs sites are significantly dominating the blogosphere by enabling mobile consumers to have the real pulse of cellular phone world.

In the past couple of years, many blogs have bloomed up that have opened new and effective channels for mobile industry. Probably the most famous are "Engadget mobile", "Gizmodo", "Mobility site", "Informationweek" and many others.Conversations on blogs have a life of these own. They tend to move around in unexpected directions and fluctuate unpredictably in volume. Whether it's about the most hyped iPhone or the new Google's Android, the bloggers just ignite this issue and go on it to the heights of fame These unplanned or planned conversational surges are the main reason behind the popularity of blogosphere.However it is necessary for the bloggers to create content which is true, unique and various otherwise they will not have the ability to survive in the growing competition. Another significant advantage that blogs have is that their stories take greater time to fade in comparison with the story on the newspaper's front page. In the end, considering the increasing amount of blogs every day, we are able to conclude that when blogging is conducted in a responsible manner, it would go quite a distance in learning to be a popular medium among internet users.Sarah is a Software Engineer, currently connected with Youpark.com [1] exploring the popularity of mobiles on blogs linked to Mobile content
