论博客（2）－On Blogger (2)

雅虎博客文化频道网络主编Onllyone先生，曾在他2008年3月6日的博客文章中介绍说，每一分钟都有文章在上传到各个栏目。每个栏目每天有上千篇文章在上传中。

Mr Onllyone, the chief editor of Culture Channel of Yahoo Blog, says in his blog on March 6, 2008， that the essays are being uploaded to each channel every minute, and about a thousand articles are uploaded every day.

写博客的人都是些什么样的人呢？他们为什么要写博客呢？

Who are those bloggers? Why do they write blogs?

我们可以把写博客者大致分为二种：名人和普通人

We can divide bloggers into two kinds: celebrities and common people.

名人的文章在传统的纸资媒体或电子媒体发表并无困难。他们写博客的目的主要是为了更便捷地与大众进行沟通交流。他们往往用博客的形式，就一时热点问题，写一些非正式的，比较短的文章，或答网民问，或及时澄清一些问题等。这种短文的发表和更新随时随地都可进行，比传统媒体的出版和再版方便许多。

Celebrities have no difficulty in publishing their articles through traditional paper or electronic media. They write blogs to communicate with the public more quickly and conveniently. They often use the form of blog to write some short informal essays on hot subject, in reply to the Internet users, or clarify something. They can publish and update the blogs anytime and anywhere, which is much more convenient than the publishing and republishing by the traditional media.

普通人写博客是为了记录和倾诉他们的思想感情，与众交流。把日记保存在网上比记在日记本上可靠省事多了——不怕水淹，不怕火烧。倾诉自己的思想感情并与他人交流是人的一种心理需要。

Common people write blogs to record and pour out their thoughts and feelings, and communicated with other Internet users. It is much easier and reliable to keep their diaries on line---both waterproof and fireproof. It is a psychological need for human beings to pour out their feelings and thoughts and communicate with others.
