Types of Blogs

For whatever reasons, bloggers have created diverse content and as such, different types of blogs have emerged. Based on the text, they can be categorized as the following:

Personal
This type of blog is usually an ongoing diary or commentary by an individual. It is the traditional and the most common type of blog. This is extremely popular among teenagers as they often use blogs to vent frustrations or sharing with others the major events in their daily lives. It is also a common practice for them to pen down what they do every day on their blogs.

Collaborative
Collaborative blogging is a special form of maintaining a blog. As it is oftentimes more viable to allow different users to write to maximize the amount of content, collaborative blogging allows bloggers to reduce time spent updating the site per person. In so doing, it increases the amount of content on the blog.

Corporate
This type is for business purposes and often used internally to enhance the communication and culture in a corporation or externally for marketing, branding or public relations purposes. are called corporate blogs.

Topical
Some bloggers choose not to document their personal lives, but rather discuss a certain activity. Their blogs exist with a single topic which they are dedicated to called topical blogs. Examples of particular subjects are political blogs, travel blogs, music blogs, web design, fashion and many more.

Spam
Another one is the spam blog or splog. It is mostly set up automatically by ‘bots’ or computers performing a series of automated functions autonomously, and are intended to promote commercial companies or products. These blogs contain nonsensical or repetitive text with a purpose of mass-linking or the creation of a great number of unnecessary links to affect search engine listings.

Introduction: Blogging Itself

Blogs, originally a part of the word ‘weblog’, is a term used to describe web sites that maintain an ongoing chronicle of information. It is a regularly updated, personal website featuring diary-type commentary and links to articles on other websites.

Many blogs focus on a specific topic while others are more diverse, presenting links to all types of other sites. Others on the other hand, are more like personal journals, presenting the author's daily life and thoughts. Blogging is considered the most popular method of writing on the web. It's also an example of citizen journalism and self expression at its finest.

Meanwhile, before large-scale blogging platforms are considered to be one of the first true forms of blogging, dedicated sites for online personal journals and diaries already exist. Today, we use the mainstream terms ‘weblog,’ ‘blog,’ ‘blogging,’ and ‘bloggers’ but before, people who kept their online journals updated called themselves journalers, diarists or escribitionists.

In many cases, blogging is merely a hobby, but it is already evolving into a means of profit and moneymaking. The commercialization of blogs ranges from the inclusion of advertisements and other forms of promotional messages on blogs to the usage of blogs as promotional means to earn money. Thus, these days, blogging has become not only a communication tool but also a tool for making money.

However, as with most technologies, blogging have also been abused. Sedition is one of the most prevalent problems on the internet as many people think that the internet offers great anonymity, some show no regard for the feelings of others when writing posts on their blogs. Another issue is pornography which composed a large portion of the web. With the free hosting of photos and perceived anonymity, a number of bloggers post pornographic photographs or materials on their blogs. Spam blogs are also common nowadays. Just like spam email, they are an unavoidable irritation on the internet. They are composed entirely of meaningless posts designed to promote a company or product, or to waste space on any given server.
