| I Think, Therefore I BLOG |
Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave
comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this
interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites many blogs provides
commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal
online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs,
Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to
leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.
Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (Art blog),
photographs (photo blog), videos (video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio
(podcasting). Micro blogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short
posts.

Blog Types
Ø Personal
Blogs
The personal blog, an ongoing diary or
commentary by an individual, is the traditional, most common blog. Personal
bloggers usually take pride in their blog posts, even if their blog is never
read. Blogs often become more than a way to just communicate; they
become a way to reflect on life, or works of art. Blogging can have a
sentimental quality. Few personal blogs rise to fame and the mainstream, but
some personal blogs quickly garner an extensive following. One type of personal
blog, referred to as a micro blog, is extremely detailed and seeks to capture a
moment in time. Some sites, such as Twitter, allow bloggers to share thoughts
and feelings instantaneously with friends and family, and are much faster than
emailing or writing.
Ø Corporate
and organizational blogs
A blog can be private, as in most cases, or it can be for
business purposes. Blogs used internally to enhance the communication and
culture in a corporation or externally for marketing, branding or public
relations purposes are called corporate blogs. Similar blogs for clubs and
societies are called club blogs, group blogs, or by similar names; typical use
is to inform members and other interested parties of club and member
activities.
