Classfication of Blog and my opinion

From the media report, Margaret Simons(2008) stated that there are taxonomy of blogs. There are pamphleteer blog,the digest blog,the advocacy blog, the popular mechanics blog,the exhibition blog, the gatewatcher blog, the diary,the advertisement,the news blog. According to Donald J.Kochan (2006) defined that pamphleteer blog is the distribution of law, social policy, politics, revolution, social changes, and other subject. Donald J.Kochan (2006) also stated that blogger resemble pamphleteers as the the internet became advance in olden days and this is the start of blogsphere. He also stated that the format of the blog will be distribution of information of idea and information individually. But nowadays, blogs are getting more advance. This can be supported by Cali Williams Yost(2009) also changed his blog and follow the latest blog "Twitter" and he gave the advantages of "Twitter". Thus, we can see that pamphleteer blog is the oldest version of blog where people use to share their views and now the blogsphere has changed and blog is not only for one classification but also there are many genre that we can find using the latest blog "twitter".
