Alok Kumar is known as the first Hindi blogger. [1] His blog नौ दौ ग्यारह (9-2-11) was the first known Hindi blog. He coined the term Chittha (Hindi : चिट्ठा) for blog. This term was quickly adopted by other bloggers, and later became the standard Hindi term. Because of the difficulties involved in typing Hindi script, very few people used it online. However, later, the availability of Hindi typing tools, the number of Hindi bloggers began to grow.
In 2007, the number of Hindi blogs increased rapidly. This was due to the advent of Indic Unicode support in various blogging services, the introduction of new Hindi typing tools like Google Indic Transliteration tool in Blogger, and the promotion of Hindi blogging in the mainstream media. [2]
Some of the most popular Hindi bloggers are women. In April 2013, there were more than 50,000 Hindi blogs, one-fourth of which were written by female bloggers. [3]

During 2007, the number of Hindi blogs increased rapidly and blogs began covering various topics such as cinema, technology, science, hobbies, and photography.

A blog is an informational website consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries (posts). Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page. In the 2000s, blogs were often the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject or topic. In the 2010s, "multi-author blogs" (MABs) emerged, featuring the writing of multiple authors and sometimes professionally edited. MABs from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think tanks, advocacy groups, and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic. The rise of Twitter and other "microblogging" systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into the news media. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
