4. Facebook Blogged
They say it best: “FacebookBlogged is a people-sharing platform to talk about the background philosophy, developments and changes in the world of FB. It is a two-way platform and is inclined more towards “conversation” than information in the new media era.”

Mashable is one of the best social media blogs out there, and their homepage menu divides their posts into easily accessible groups.
