A taxonomy of blogs
No full text"The word \u27blog\u27 doesn\u27t really give one much of an idea about the content or nature of a given online site. In fact, author and freelance journalist, Margaret Simons, describes the term as \u27manifestly inadequate\u27, because it offers so little differentiation.

And being no slouch herself, she\u27s taken her own initial stab at drawing up a list of the different types of online sites that classify as blogs. She\u27s come up with nine."
