Types of blogs

There are different types of blogs to choose from, depending on bloggers' topic of interest and their targeted audiences. Personal blogs,professional blogs, corporate blogs and micro blogs are four types of blogs one can choose from, whether to 'typed' down their thoughts or just simply reading. With new effects created which let the bloggers insert photos,videos,music and nice background layout to make blogging a whole level of reading experience.

Personal blogs
In my opinion, personal blogs get the most attention from young readers, however there is no doubt that these blogs do attract readers from various age groups as well. One good example of a personal blog is our own Sarawakian boy, Kenny Sia who made a big name of himself just by just blogging!

Corporate blogs
Corporate blogs are published by an organization to achieve their organizational goals. Posts and comments are made easier to access due to centralized hosting and generally structured conversational threads. Tony Fernandez, the CEO of AirAsia is one of the top names who have involved himself in the corporate blog world. According to his first blog post-Welcome Aboard, the reason he setup this blog is to provide another platform to keep in touch with people despite his busy schedule. With the start of his blog - The Entrepreneur, I believe there will be more and more corporate CEO joining the boat soon! (Wong 2008).

Professional blogs

The main purpose of professional blogs are for professionals to share their knowledge and skills on their professional expertise. Usually, a professional blog focuses on one chosen industry, such as photography blogs and architecture blogs. Professional blogs are meant for readers to gain insights on a certain area of expertise that they are interested in.



Micro blogs
Micro blogs such as Twitter are dominating the cyber world and many use these blogs to keep track with the lifestyles of the fast-moving society which includes brief text posts, photos and video clips.

With latest gadgets introduced in town, sharing videos (vlog), mobile blogging (moblog), pictures (photo blog) and information (news blog) are all made easier.Just a click away!!!!!
