1 a) Which one of these three descriptions does not define a blog?

One of these three descriptions does not define a blog. Can you guess which one?
  1. [Blogs] are…used to “keep personal records and fomulate opinions about the experience of the self….This new technology [has been culturally disruptive, changing the way we do things and communicate with each other]. The [blog serves] the growing cultivated public in many ways - as [websites of account],…guides for conduct, and individual [online] notebooks [for archiving and memory]. [Blogs are used for personal writing and to share with friends and the greater community of bloggers for self and communal growth and development.]
  2. A [blog] is a book for writing discrete entries arranged by date. It can be used for recording in advance of appointments and other planned activities, and/or for reporting on what has happened over the course of a day or other period….There is a strong psychological effect of having an audience for one's self-expression, a personal space, or a "listener," even if this…[blog] is only read by oneself.
  3. The [blog] is a one-man show. One has complete freedom of expression, including, if one chooses, the freedom to be scurrilous, abusive, and seditious; or, on the other hand, to be more detailed, serious and "high-brow" than is ever possible in a newspaper or in most kinds of periodicals... [A blog] can include all sorts of writings -- treatises on political theory, essays on history, political arguments, sermons, correspondence, poems -- and they display all sorts of literary devices.
