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.

Mumbai: India ranks foremost in consumer confidence as investors have been safeguarded by India's relatively nascent financial markets, a study by market researcher Nielsen showed.
Indians are "the most optimistic lot globally who think that their country will be out of the economic recession in the next twelve months," Nielsen said in a biannual report. The Nielsen Global Consumer Confidence study polled more than 26,000 consumers across the globe about their confidence levels and economic outlook. "Despite the global economic recession Indians seem to be quite confident of the economy picking up in the near future," it said. "They believe that the global recession will have limited impact on India where the domestic market is believed to be large enough to support continued growth." The Nielsen Global Consumer Confidence Index surveyed 52 markets of which 43 recorded a fall in the consumer confidence index from the first half of 2008. "In such conditions it is the fast developing markets that are turmoil-proof with their consumers appearing to be more optimistic," Nielsen said. Of Indian respondents, 16 per cent said they considered job prospects in the country "excellent" while 59 per cent felt job prospects were "good". The survey found 75 per cent respondents were upbeat about local job prospects over the next 12 months. "Though the conditions might not be as great as they were in the past few years, the growth opportunities in India are better than most other countries at the moment," it added. But the economy and terrorism ranked as major concerns among Indian consumers. India's concern about terrorism topped the list when the survey was conducted in October last year, ahead of the Terror attacks in Mumbai. About this Blogger
