Online diary - exactly.
Somewhere for people to write stuff easily and quickly on a regular basis. Setup I use means I can send a message via email and the rest is handled by server.

The word 'blog' is derived from 'web' and 'log'.

Definition (from http://www.blogger.com/tour_pub.g):

"A blog gives you your own voice on the web. It's a place to collect and share things that you find interesting— whether it's your political commentary, a personal diary, or links to web sites you want to remember.

Many people use a blog just to organize their own thoughts, while others command influential, worldwide audiences of thousands. Professional and amateur journalists use blogs to publish breaking news, while personal journalers reveal inner thoughts. "
