Blogging in the 21st Century

The turn of the 21st century brought about a lot of changes, including changes in blogging. Technology has given internet users a whole new way to write and present their blogs. Instead of all text with a few images thrown in to make it a little more interesting you can now add audio to your blogs. To make it even more interesting put in a short video to intrigue your visitors.
       
                 Did you know that you can even update your blog when you are on the go if you like? All you have to do is use a PDA or a mobile phone and you can connect and update anytime, anywhere you please, this is called mobile blogs. Technology has certainly changed the way blogging works. There are no longer very many limitations holding the blogger back.
               

                 So what are some of these different types of blogs that are now available today and what do they mean? Basically, there are two common types of blogs and each has different sub-genres included within it. Most blogs are either basic blogs or expository blogs.

Basic blogs include links to something interesting and a comment or two. Expository blogs focus mainly on writing. There are several other types of blogs that fall under these two main broad categories.

Some of these include:

Group – A variant of the same basic blog but with multiple authors

Topic- blog writing based on a specific set of topics (such as politics,
news, religion, education, etc.)

Journals – Diaries; usually expository and of interest to the writer,
family and friends

Photo- As the name suggests, this is a graphic heavy blog with photos,
etc.

Linkblog- Similar to the regular basic blog but with only links and
without commentary

Public relations- blogs geared towards public relations, advertising, etc

Other- There are many other types and categories of blogs that can fall
in this line as well. There are so many different things that blogs are
used for these days.

Corporate blogging in the 21st Century


As the popularity of blogging has increased, we now also have corporate blogging. Many companies both large and small see this as a great way to connect with their target audience in a more direct way. You can use blogs to find out about your target market’s interests, hobbies and concerns.
         
       We live in a time where people want information – tons of information. The more information you can provide, the more confidence there will be in you and your company and your knowledge and abilities. Companies are literally earning millions off of being able to provide others with information. The blog gives you a great platform to be able to achieve this.

         There are even many major companies that are starting to advertise in blogs such as Coca-Cola for one. Advertisers are really taking notice to the popularity of blogs and how they can make money from the information super-highway. You can jump on board and get your share of the profits as well. There is no reason why you shouldn’t be making money through a blog as well.
