If you google someone, you might find that person's name on a blog .
A blog is the shortened name for a Web log. A blog is a personal Web page. It may contain stories, comments, pictures and links to other Web sites.
Some people add information to their blogs every day. People who have blogs are called bloggers .
Blogs are not the same as spam . Spam is unwanted sales messages sent to your electronic mailbox.
The name is based on a funny joke many years ago on a British television show, "Monty Python's Flying Circus."
Some friends are at an eating place that only serves a processed meat product from the United States called Spam.
Every time the friends try to speak, another group of people starts singing the word Spam very loudly.
This interferes with the friends' discussion – just as unwanted sales messages interfere with communication over the Internet.
