Article-vs-Blog: What are the differences? When to use which?
While writing content, one might get confused whether to write it as an article or as a blog post. This article will discuss the subtle differences between these two types of content and help you decide which one to use in what context.
Articles
Articles are more detailed involving research and studies, gathering facts. They are longer, formal, professional and more informative. Articles are often published in newspapers, magazines, journals, academic publications or online. They are written to provide detailed analysis, research, or news on a specific topic and are typically more objective and unbiased. They can be 5,000 words or more, and may include citations or quotes from sources.
Articles exist in the global space and you are the author of the articles you write. Feel free to write Articles here in your area of expertise...
Blogs Posts
Blog posts tend to be shorter, informal, casual, and conversational. For instance, Twitter is a micro-blogging platform. Bog posts can be 3,000 words or more. They are usually published on websites or online platforms and businesses prefer them mostly. Blog posts are written from a personal perspective based on opinion. They can include facts or information, but they are based on experience and include more personality. Due to their short and conversational nature, blogs often get shared across social media and get discussed with questions and comments. For simpler and shorter content, just use our Blogs and Blog-Entries...
A Blog is like a YouTube channel and Blog Entries (posts) within the blog are like the individual videos within the channel which means only you can author Blog Entries inside your Blogs while other users can only comment on your entries (similar to a channel, its videos and video comments). Blogs exist under YOU > Blogs > Blog Entries.
