A blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently
updated posts that are arranged chronologically- like a what’s new page or a
journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly- from links and
commentary about other web sites, to news about a company/person/idea, to
diaries, photos, poetry, mini-essays, project updates, even fiction.
Blog posts are like
instant messages to the web. Many blogs are personal, “what’s on may mind” type
musings. Others are collaborative efforts based on the specific topic or area
of mutual interest. Some blogs are for play. Some are for work, Some are bloth.
Types of blogs
A blog can be defined by its incorporation of media: a blog
comprising videos is called a vlog,
one comprising links is called a
linklog, or one comprising photos is called a photoblog. Blogs can also be defined by which type fo device is
used to compose it. A blog written by a mobile device like a mobile phone or
PDA is calling a moblog.
A blog can also be defined by its genre. For
example, if a blog is mainly about politics, it can be called a political blog. A blog about travel
could be called a travel blog.
A blog can also be
defined by the legal entity of its publishers. A blog can be private, as in
most cases, or it can be for business purposes. Blogs, either used internally
to enhance the communication and culture in a corporation or externally for
marketing, branding or PR purposes are called corporate blogs.
