Classification of blogs & methods to build blogging communities

There are various types of blogs which people use:

1. Personal
2. Collaborative
3. Corporate
4. Topical
5. Spam

Other than that, there are also other types of media which is:

1. Podcasts/Videocasts (“iPod” and “broadcast”/vlogging)
2. Photologs (or blogs composed entirely of photos)

A blogging community is basically having a tangible social network. Bloggers also would like to have a community that can keep them updated with each other and also in ongoing activities. For example, communities can be set up to connect individuals who share the same interest.

however, blogging communities are limited as there are forums widely available for anyone who wishes to gain new knowledge and share old one with other people of the same interest. For example, Shutter Asia is a forum which allows anyone to register as a member. This then allow the member to contribute regarding current issues.
