What is the difference between a weblog and a message board, or online chat?

Similar to a weblog in providing a forum for people to post their thoughts online, message boards tend to be more conversational with hundreds or even thousands of people posting their thoughts, raising questions and responding to one another. Message boards also tend to be focused on a single subject of common interest to all of the people writing on the board. For example, a message board may focus on a specific model of car or music group. Similar to message boards, online chat provides a more instantaneous conversation between and among people, again typically about a single topic of common interest. Weblogs on the other hand usually have a single primary poster, can cover a variety of topics and tend to have fewer other people posting their opinions.
