With new and advanced technology these days, blogging has become so much easier. People can blog everywhere right now with the introduction of new technology such as smart phones and tablets such as iPad.
The pie chart shown above shows the current blogosphere for the year 2010 with almost half the bloggers coming from the United States. Based on the Technorati's State of the Blogosphere 2010 report, the significant growth of mobile blogging is a key trend this year (Sobel, J). Even though smart phones are still new in the current market, the number of bloggers blogging from their smart phone or tablet are expected to rise (Sobel, J)
However, most bloggers around the world these days are blogging to express their views on political issues and also to strive for the freedom of speech. Blog is not only confined to personal issues and matters but it also involves various type of bloggers who blog out of their own interest. In the United States, political blogs are very common among bloggers as this is where opinion and feedback comes into place whereas in Malaysia, food blogs are very common among bloggers.
Apart from that, different type of blogs brings different benefits to the society and audiences. In Malaysia, political blogs are seen as a benefit for the society as people can seek for second opinion about political views as different bloggers perceive each issue differently. References
