Classification of Blogs

Everyone has different reasons for them to create a blog. Hence, there are different types of blogs. The classification system of types of blogs:

1. Subject Matter

a. Politics, eg: The Wardman Wire

b. Fashion, eg: Fashioning

c. History, eg: World History

d. Law, eg: Above the Law

2. Device

Moblog, eg: Clotilde's Moblog

3. Media Type

a. Vlog is a blog that provide videos to share with readers. For example: Fusion Vlog

b. Linklog is a blog that contain links that allow readers to click and link it to another webpages. For example: Jennifer's Linklog

c. Sketchlog is a blog that have drawings and sketches to share with the readers. For example: Lubasa Sketchlog

d. Tumblelogs is a blog that contain pictures and links which also simple and short for readers to understand easily. For example: Anarchaia

4. Status of Publishers

a. Business blogs, eg: Vemma Internet Business

b. Corporate blogs, eg: Novell

In my opinion, subject matter is a good method of classification. It is easier for readers to understand the blog because the blog will only talk about specific topic.
