Blogs, or online Web logs of news and views, were the hot story of 2002, the year when blogging caught the eye of the mainstream press in a big way and pundits began to recognize blogs as useful tools for everything from venting about politics to raving about a favorite band. MSNBC and The San Jose Mercury News are just two "mainstream" outlets that have staffers who write blogs. UC Berkeley this year started a Web log class for students. London's The Guardian has picked up on the growing blogging trend too: "A way from the big players, as ever, many of the most interesting things to happen on the web this year have grown organically.
