Forms of blogs
There are various forms of blogs, and each differs in the way content is delivered or written.
By media type
A blog comprising videos is called a vlog, one comprising links is called a linklog or one comprising photos is called a photoblog.
By device
Blogs can also be defined by which type of device is used to compose it. A blog written by a mobile device like a mobile phone or PDA is called a moblog.[10]
Genre
Some blogs focus on a particular subject, such as political blogs or travel blogs or legal blogs (often referred to as a blawg).
Legal status of 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.
Blog Search Engines
Several blog search engines are used to search blog contents (also known as the blogosphere), such as blogdigger, Feedster, and Technorati. Technorati provides current information on both popular searches and tags used to categorize blog postings.
The value of various forms of blog is it can be used as tools for creating on-line communities of people interested in the same subjects – or in each other. On such a “blogsite,” any number of people can describe their thoughts, activities and reactions, and thereby share them with others who participate on the blogsite with them. Since blogs are normally publicly available web sites, some people can simply read them without contributing any thoughts or materials of their own. These are called “lurkers,” and they often outnumber the active “bloggers” who contribute to the blogsite.
