  1. What is the difference between a blog and a book?

The difference between a blog and a book is that a blog is far more efficient than a book. A blog is faster with more freedom and a book is tight and slow. When you write a book you choose a topic and stick with it, there is specific information you are to follow. In a blog you are allowed to pass does boundaries, write about anything, use visual aid, music, anything you want. Besides a book is to be purchased, meanwhile a blog is available to anybody, at any time. Another advantage is that in blogs people can comment about your post, give their opinion, in a book you don’t get to know the reader at all. At the end what matters of a piece of writing, is mostly to know that your purpose was set.
