Cloud computing has also found a way and revolutionized the social interaction from simple texts to full multimedia content as people share their experiences. A blog is colloquial for a Web Log which is essentially a website in which people share experiences and discuss common interest topics with the view of information or sheer random expressions [1] .It is interesting to see how blogging has been revolutionized by cloud computing as the blogging sites incorporate cloud computing capabilities to make it possible to store large files in the cloud space. The modern day blogging website has the functionality of the users uploading even video tapings of experiences that they feel should be interesting. Most of the video and audio contents are often screened by moderators before being published but nonetheless it is an interesting thing to see people sharing high definition video files over the blogging website.
To make this possible, there has to be a temporary storage for the cache of the audio or video file and cloud computing makes it possible to provide that caching memory required to make the playing of videos and music continuous and possible without having to be saved on local directories first. Music and videos have become more accessible than ever before and the cloud computing architecture allows musicians to distribute their songs through subscription based services or online radio stations [2]. In general, cloud computing has also made entertainment experience better. To borrow a few tips from the first point above about cloud computing, the blogging website designers have come up with an ingenious way of incorporating cloud applications into the blogging websites too. To illustrate how designers of websites for blogging make use of Rich Internet Applications to enhance the blogging experience, the modern day blogging websites feature fully functional video editors and picture editors for people who may be having slow connectivity to trim the videos or change them to a format that takes up little space [3]. As if that is not enough , some blogging websites have video capture software that automatically detect the web camera on the user’s PC and allows the use to capture real-time videos and podcast them real time; as would be the case of somebody taking a tour of a game park then comes across an interesting natural experience. The rise in mobile computing has also pushed designers to accommodate mobile devices like tablet PCs and smartphones [4]. This means a person could be on a road trip and literally broadcast the experiences real time en route through a smartphone .Podcasting is also an important aspect that cloud computing has made possible owing to the large sizes of audio and video podcasts that have to be made available to users.
