Different Types of blogs

How many types do blogs have?
I thought that I should know about how many different types of blog
as user of blog, so I searched and found about that.
And there are so many different types of blogs even I did not know before,
they seem similar to each other, but they are different!

Personal- The word blog is used to describe an online diary or journal, so in personal blogs people write their day-to-day experiences, complaints, poems, prose, illicit thoughts and more, often allowing others to contribute, fulfilling to a certain extent.

Thoughtful-Weblogs in the "thoughtful" category present an individual's (or a small group's) thoughts on whatever subject comes to hand.

FriendBlog-A FriendBlog is a distributed networked journal on the web, composed of short, frequently updated posts written by friends connected through their similar interests.

Topical-Topical blogs focus on a specific niche, often a technical one.

News-Many weblogs provide a news digest on a certain topic.
