Look around, everyone is in the blog sphere. Well, almost.. Blogging in the Asian scene is becoming very normal. Especially in Malaysia, most of my friends own a blog and i made many friends through blogging too. Blog is like one form of communication for many people around the work these days. I often get to see my friends keeping in touch with relatives overseas using blog. Is free and is easy for one to express his or her thoughts and message through it.
Though many people of today's world blog, they are often classified into different types of blogs. They are respectively put into different genres. Different genres somehow give the author of the blog different ways to blog and different mean of expressing themselves. We can often find bloggers "beautifying" their blogs with really pretty layout. That is one way to express themselves. The genre change of blog these days is to send out message in a clearer format. With different genre, the impact of sending out message is different. For example, a vlog can often send out a clearer message to the audience as it keeps people watching the video where else a text based blog post will require the audience to read and it needs to be interesting, or else it will not keep the audience reading.
Subject Matters: Political Blogs, Religion Blogs, Fashion Blogs, Food Blogs, Travel Blogs, Entertainment Blogs, Audio Blogs and many more text blog that are focus mainly on one particular subject.
Device: Moblogs (blogs which can be accessible through mobile phones)
Media Type: Vlog (video blog), Linklog (hyperlink blog), Sketchlog (sketch blog), Tumblelogs (mixed media blog), Phlog (photo blog)
The blogging community in Malaysia is pretty large. People from West Malaysia and East Malaysia often meet up and catch up. Blogging community are often form due to similar interest in a particular subject. Famous bloggers like smashpop.net has his own blogger community. His blogger community are made up with photography fanatics. Smashpop is a very good photographer himself and many people often go out with him on photo shoots to share knowledge in photography. With people who have blogging community, knowledge on different things in life can be shared among everyone as the internet is free. We do not need to be associate with these people to know what they are doing and that can be beneficial to us.
In today's society, the online media has taken over the traditional print media ( Walsh 2006). This have explain to us that many people have put much emphasizing in designing a better online web page compared to a normal print media. The design of the online web page is often more interesting as it can be multi modal. Video, audio, pictures, hyper links and text can be added into a online web page. This are the couple of ways to enhance the creativity of a web page and how they keep audience from staying at their web page. Unlike the traditional print media, text and images are often use. Without the hyper links, video and audio input, the print media is far less interesting than the online media and it only depends on it's unique way of the author's writing to keep the audience reading.
