Classification of blogs

Blogging phenomenon has come to stage where millions of postings are up every single day. Topics for blogging are not able to be classified as there are too much. Usually each individual will have different topic to posts every other day and most of them will not post only one specific topic on a single blog.


Chris Heuer has blogged that there is an urgent need to think of a way to classify blogs. He expirence is when he goes through an individual blog, he find all sorts of topic in it, and only one of the post is of his interest. Time is wasted to scroll through that blog just to find the post that he is interested in. He is pushing his stands for classification of blog to the big blogging community.




In a more conventional way, people of different blogging community set up their blog community tagged to the topic that they are interested in. An example is The Dublin community Blog, this blog is dedicated to anything that happened in Dublin or anything the blogger wants to talk about Dublin, comments can be made there and the discussions carry on from there.




Another example is Lonely Planet Community Blog, this site is dedicated to travellers who want to find out more on a specific place that they want to visit. Anyone can post a topic on any travel destination that they may be going and ask for comment or get reviews of interesting places that they can go.
