Blogging Communities

Just like human beings tend to mingle and clique with others who have similar interests as them, interconnectivity of blogs in blogosphere has created similar phenomenon. A thing called blogging communities could be defined as an interactive groups formed through blog(s) based on same interests. Community members share expressions and connect to each other via communicating (Packwood 2005). The same thing applies to blogging community, where people with same interests create online discussions through bulletin boards or comment box. That way, feedbacks and comments about blogposting issues could be gathered in order to develop the blogs and the community itself.

Blogging communities can be classified into three different types, the single blog centric community, the central connecting topic community, and the boundaried community (White 2005). The first one is formed when the online interactions only happen inside a blog, while in the second one members can also be linked to another blogs with similar topics. The third one would be the most common one, where we can see different types of blogs under a blog provider. An example of blogging community is the food community named Word of Mouth under the Guardian in UK. Its members share culinary experiences including the food pictures among them. Sharing is caring.
