Blogging Community - Friends or Foe?

Blogging have become a powerful tool for communication.  Blogs are updated regularly and because of the medium, it has the potential to reach out to the masses.  Blogging communities have evolved from the growth and popularity of blogs.  Communities and networks are formed through shared interests, ideologies and opinions.  Each blog allows their visitors to read and leave a comment on their entires or post.  Such communication inadvertently forms communities and little niche groups.  Over time, through friendship and the human web, these little groups conglomerate to form networks. Blog networks embody a huge part of the 'problogging' industry.  

Blog networks provides a regular update on news, commentary and happenings around the 'blogosphere', or a collection of connected communities.  How each community is classified is based on their topic or nature.  Some classifications of blogs include:

- Fashion 
- Art 
- News 
- Photography  
- Media 
- Business 
- Current Affairs 
- Sports 
- Travel  

Take the fashion blog community for example, blogcatalog, provides an extensive range from designers to style tips and market research. "Why then the blog's mine oyster"!

The community listing is as unlimited as the sky is wide.  And because blogging essentially a 'people-business', one can even find social and support groups on blogs.  

Blog communities range from a a myriad of areas and purposes, from all over the world.  The classification and categories are indefinite.
