A medley of blogs.

According to Wikipedia.org there are 6 types of blog. They are divided into 6 category which is personal, corporate, question, media, device, and genre. They are not only divided by their content but how the blogs are presented and delivered. With blogs categorized by topics and interests, blogging communities are formed through them.

Wikipedia also states that, a community is a social group sharing an environment, based on common interests. Online users with common interests are able to connect and communicate with one another through blogging with the accessibility of hyperlinks.

An example of a blogging community is Nuffnang. This community enables bloggers to connect and build communities with common interest within the region. Nuffnang not only enables bloggers to connect and build communities but also enables them to earn income by serving advertizements by numerous blue chip companies, such as Nike, Citibank, Nokia, F&N, Walls, AirAsia, Honda, and many more.
