As blogs have evolved over the last few years, they have begun to
take on distinct characteristics depending on audience and purpose.
Though political blogs remain the most high profile (and most
read), other types of blogs are gaining in strength and visibility.
This book-a follow-up volume to Barlow's Rise of the Blogosphere,
which examined the historical context for the modern blog-provides
an examination of the many current aspects of the blogosphere, from
the political to the professional to the personal, with many stops
in between. Given that millions of blogs have been created over the
past five years and yet more come online at an undiminished rate,
and given that enthusiasm for both reading them and writing them
has yet to wane, it is likely that the blog explosion will continue
indefinitely. As blogs have evolved over the last few years, they

of the blogosphere, from the political to the professional to the

personal blog; the political blog; the use of blogs by various
religious communities both for discussion within communities and
for outreach; the growth of blogs dedicated to specific geographic
communities, and their relations with older local media; blogs
dedicated to technical subjects, particularly relating to
computers; blogs and business; blogs sparked by video games,
movies, music, and other forms of entertainment; and more. Given
that millions of blogs have been created over the past five years
and yet more come online at an undiminished rate, and given that
enthusiasm for both reading them and writing for them has yet to
wane, it is likely that the blog explosion will continue
indefinitely.
