In my opinion, I think that Vlog is mostly useful for the readers because the vlog provides video so that people can understand more and know more about the things that they want to know. According to Henrickson 2008, vlogging can help to attach the bloggers with the readers on a further stage. Besides that, instead of writing 3 articles, we can just combine them into a video. The transition of the vlog is much easier and it can make different topics into a better flow. ( Henrickson 2008)
Blogging Communities
According to White 2006, online community is to share some “initial thinking”. Currently, the power of blogs has introduced a new platform for communities. The blogging community is the group of the bloggers or readers that link together. They share opinions and leave comment and talk about the topic that they are interested. Wei (n.d.) notes that blogs are always within a blog community of similar interests. The communities are useful because each blog community has their own practices for people to use as guidelines.
