To me, Blog is like a "Notes" feature of Facebook, but has a little bit more options. Blog can help us to make a long note just like using Microsoft Word and after finishing it, we can publish that note on the Internet immediately. The greatest feature of Blog to me is I can manage all of my notes in a single page, see how many people have read that post, or how they commented on my notes. We can insert some photos or videos into the Blog also, this would make the blog posts become more visual and attractive. Additionally, RSS technology like Feedly changed my habit surfing the Internet. With the feature subscribing of RSS, I don't have to visit every single website to check the news or update that I need anymore. I only have to check my RSS Reader to see if one of these topics that I'm interested in has updated new information or article. When we combine Blog and RSS technology, I believe this will be a huge advantage in teaching and learning process. For example, the teacher can upload the lecture on his blog, and then, all of the students who subscribed that blog will get the news on their personal RSS reader page. Besides, if any students missed the lectures for a long time, they can visit the teacher's blog and see every post in chronological order.
