In this study, blogs and social media communication platform were examined. A comparison was made via a corpus-based analysis, which contains 20 blogs and their associated social networking site. The entire corpus contains 379 blog posts and 1,014 Facebook entries. During the analysis I considered the number and quality of entries, the rate of the phenomena of self-promotion in the links and the number of contact details. The feedback received from readers and the answers by the bloggers were also reflected on. The results suggest that some of the blog features, such as feedback from the readers, have taken over the social networking sites. It also became clear that the two platforms can be used in other types of communication, and the bloggers knowingly publish these contents on other platforms.
