A blog is a personal online diary maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary and description of events.


The term blog came from the word "web log" which was coined by John Barger in 1997. Peter Merhloz broke the word web log into the phrase "we blog" in 1999 and then the word became popular as both a noun and verb.


Everyday bloggers are writing about 200K posts around the world on various topics ranging from personal diaries to world polictics.


Blogging has become so popular in India that our Bollywood actors have also started unveiling their thoughts through their personal blogs.

Finally a low-calorie no-melt Chocolate!

Finally a low-calorie no-melt Chocolate! Vulcano is the internal code name for the new product developed by the Swiss chocolate manufacturer Barry Callebaut. It has been developed in a lab under top-secret conditions by an team of chocolate engineers and the wunder-bar not only has 90% fewer calories than the average chocolate product, it is also heat-resistant to temperatures of up to 55 C. Most chocolate starts to melt at 30 degrees.

"It's called Vulcano because it can be eaten when it's hot, and its airy and full of bubbles, like volcanic rock," said Gaby Tschofen, a spokeswoman for Barry Callebaut, which annually makes 1.1m tonnes of cocoa and chocolate-based products for customers around the world, including Cadburys and Nestle.

The company aims to target calorie-conscious European and US markets as well as emerging markets in Asia and Africa where local temperatures have hindered the spread of chocolate.

The product, like so many good inventions, resulted from a mistake, this time by technicians in the company's lab who were working on another invention. Under the current plans, the product will hit the market in about 2 years.

Being calorie conscious and a chocolate lover, I can't just wait and so breaking to news to other chocoholics.

Absolutely disappointing, if a chocolate doesn't melt in the warmth of tongue the it is like chewing on a delicious brick. There is no necessity to make chocolate so complicated, I am happy with the sweet simple guilt of original chocolates with lots of cocoa butter and the sins that follow afterward consuming it.
