Different bloggers has different interest and different things and topics they want to post on their blogs. However, blogs can be divided into various types and are stated as follows with examples of these kinds of blogs:
a) Personal blogs: The most common type of blogs where bloggers share their thoughts and feeling to their readers. Eg: http://www.xiaxue.blogspot.com/
b) Corporate and organizational blogs: These blogs are often used as a marketing tool for many organizations to promote a new product or service. Eg: http://www.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/
c) Blogs by genre: Blogs with various interest falls into this category. Blogs that fall into this category often include travel blogs, food blogs, fashion blogs and etc.
With so many types of blogs in the internet, it is somehow not that hard to determine which type of blog one blog belongs to. For me, when identifying a blog, I focus on the style and format of blogs to help determine what type of blog I am currently visiting. Based on the readings, personal blogs are the same as diary because this is where people put pictures of themselves and their family and also posting up things they want to tell their audiences. Apart from that, corporate blogs could be linked to advocacy blogs as its run by a special interest group to reach out to its audiences and potential customers.
