As you know, blog is short for "web log". Like everything Internet-related, over the years the standard blog has evolved into several different categories of personal journaling. For example:

Blawgs - A blog that focuses on the legal profession

Linklog - A blog made up of links

Moblog - A blog created by mobile phone or PDA

Photoblog - One that is primarily photos

Sketchblog - A sketch portfolio blog

Slog (Site or website log) - A blog that is integrated within a regular website's structure and created with blogging software

Splog - A spamming website disguised as a legitimate blog

Tumblelogs (new to me) - Has short posts and includes mixed media

Vlog - A blog comprised of videos

And now, New York City, the capital of innovation, has spawned a new classification of personal blog - the "Hawg", or Hawk log.

Let's see how long it takes before the term shows up in Wikipedia.

Happy hawging,

Rob
