Classifications of blogging communities

A weblog or ‘blog’ is an online website which has regular updates on news or a particular subject. It is updated by individuals or creator of the blog with commentaries or event descriptions. They can also be classified as personal commentary or opinions on particular topics as well as self promoting and advertising. some say that the classification of blogs doesn’t really exist. Anyone can create a blog on any topic they choose, from Hollywood gossip, to poetry and art. There can be endless discussions on different topics. All you have to do is find them, but it’s not always easy to filter your way through. The following will show two examples of blogging communities.

The first i would like to discuss was created by Bruce Ableson, who launched the community Open diary in 1999. It was the first blogging community that allowed readers to post comments on other people's blog entries.

The second example is a community called Blogcatalog.
“The BlogCatalog Community Blog is a place to highlight great blogs and bloggers, share the latest blogging and social media news, review tools for bloggers and keep you up to date on what's going on at BlogCatalog.”
