Blog Classification

With the emergence of blogging, bloggers have created diverse content for many reasons, such as to increase the uniqueness of their blogs, or to attract more readers. As such, many different types of blogs have emerged the different purpose of use. (Libray.Think Quest)
Some are business purpose, some are reviews, some are updates, personal topics and so on.
Some examples of the classification types of blogs include:

Subject matter:
1. Politics, e.g. Malaysia Digest
2. Fashion, e.g. Black Milk Project
3. History, e.g. Blog 4 History: American & Civil War History
4. Law, e.g. Law Eddie.com

Device:
Moblog or mobile blogging, e.g. Dan's Blog (2.0)

Media type:
1. Vlog or video logging, e.g. Dhiya Faris
2. Linklog is URLs (hyperlinks) blogging, e.g. iamcal.com
3. Sketchlog, e.g. Christine's sketch log
4. Tumblelog is similar to link log but with more variations of posts, e.g. Zeo's tumblerlog

Status of publishers:
1. Business blog, e.g. Business Blog
2. Corporate blogs, e.g. Linked in Blog

In my opinion, subject matter is one of the method that I will considering. Is easier for readers to understand the specific topic and keywords that relates matters that they concern.
