Blogging Communities


According to Vinson (2007), communities are groups of people who come together to explicit a common reason. They gather because they share a common interest (hobbies, events, blogging), a common history (same high school, town, workplace, family, country) or a common event that binds them (a tragedy or history).

In Malaysia there are more political blogs expressing how they feel about the Government. Such blogs are mostly from the opposition party, tend to oppose the government in how they manage the country. Besides that, I think these blogs help citizens to think outside the box and to actually express themselves rather than being spoon fed by the government n what to do or what that needs to be done. These blogs too, does help citizens to know their rights.

However these blogs will not give a good impression towards the other countries. What would they think of Malaysia? Will they have a good or bad impression?

Here are some types of blogging communities;
