beyond simply providing the facts and definitions. At times, it also includes real life scenarios with which the
readers can potentially relate to. Certain informative blogs even invite their readers to comment and debate on a
certain topic. This allows them to share their knowledge to other people

the world of showbiz. These days, most big TV networks and entertainment organizations use this type of blog
