Wednesday Words: Photoblog

Today's word covers another type of blog - Photoblog.

A photoblog is a blog that tells a story, shares experiences or just shares gorgeous scenery via photos - normally taken by the blogger.

WordPress, Blogger and Tumblr are all commonly used platforms to photoblog with.

Companies engaging in social media may find running a photo blog might be useful to their endeavors - especially if they can share things via photos with little to no text.

A great photoblog, which includes text, is Humans of New York.

Wednesday Words are a series of definitions released on Wednesday each week regarding a word found specific to Facebook's social media platform, or may be a generic word dealing with social media. These definitions are to help provide you with a better understanding of common and uncommon terms associated with Facebook and social media.
