Blog Classification

Blogging has come around with opportunities for anyone to share with the world regardless the subject, place, and intention. As for the types of blogging done nowadays, we can categorise it to 5 simple divisions which are; Personal, Collaborative, Corporate, Topical, and Spam. 


From this, we can clearly see the difference in the direction of the various types of blogs around. Intentions of writing the blogs could be from a personal hobby to a base for corporate identification and information. Other than that, people of all ages are open to the world of blogs and this gives us the many various subjects discussed.


There are also various ways someone could blog as technology is advancing by the minute. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (Art blog), photographs (Photo blog), videos (Video blog), music (MP3 blog), and audio (Podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.


Some examples of the different blogs are shown below:
