Numeric of Blogs & Premise on which is the most appropriate.

As Internet has brought a huge impact into our lives therefore it is a very important to be able to distinguish what both metadata and taxonomy needs are. Basically, those two are the main thing in order to support an organization’s goal for categorizing both metadata and content (Mironchuk, 2010). According to Mironchuk, people tend to use metadata to describe images and document presentation while content is useless without a strong taxonomy and metadata capability (Richardson, 2011) thus, both are related.

 

The word ‘blog’ itself does not really give much ideas regarding on the content of an online site. However, there are several blogs created out there, no matter it is a business/political blog, etc. There are some blogs that share inspirations and lessons to the reader. Nevertheless, mostly of it are personal blog too which it is just for their own purposes.

Margaret Simons (2008) has came up with 9 classifications of blog, such as:
1. Pamphleteering Blogs: where group of people or an individual argue on particular situation that happen in societies. 
2. Digest Blogs: all the content are basically being cited from elsewhere.
3. Advocacy Blogs: it is owned by commercial organization and political parties.
4. Popular Mechanics Blogs: contain lots of important information regarding on how mechanical works.
5. Exhibition Blogs: it is owned by artist, writers, etc. one of the purpose is to share their work art to wider audiences.
6. Gatewatcher Blogs: the written ‘gatekeeper’ of media.
7. Diary Blogs: more to personal blog.
8. Advertisement: created for business purposes.
9. News Blogs: informing people with current news

On the other hand, to my knowledge blog can be classified as Fashion Blogs, Photography Blogs,  Vblogs, Personal Blogs, Travel and Food

Different types of blog are created and each has its own purpose. Personally I think, the line between each category is close to each other. By looking at each format of the blog firstly, they start of with a title and continue with an interesting post of different elements. Basically I believe that all bloggers have the same goal, which is to share expertise, speak their mind and thought freely. Even though each blog has different content and so forth yet the readers have their own genre to choose of what post version they would like to read.
