The social networking scene is a place where you will find a mixture of various lifestyles, cultural backgrounds, and even religious preferences. Blogging is the catalyst that brings such varied personalities together. Social networking is more than finding, friending, or following people who share similar interests. The blogging community has opened up a rich avenue of communication for bloggers to interact. Blogging has become viral, capturing the attention of many individuals, corporations, and various niche groups.
There are thousands of bloggers going online from their computers everyday to explore and learn more about blogging and finding blogging communities to align themselves with to find success. New blogging communities are being created that cater to different styles, preferences, and demands within the blogosphere. The following new blogging communities have targeted a section of the blogging market, whether it’s a group of people or a certain theme, and are successfully fulfilling the needs of those portals.
Blog Engage
The community at Blog Engage is simply to “engage” the bloggers, creating blog interaction by encouraging members to read and promote the work of their peers. Their work is placed in a queue where it is promoted and voted on by their fellow bloggers. If the topic is interesting, the discussion is likely to become viral and draw in more bloggers. Blog Engage has become popular because it is community-driven, empowering the bloggers and motivating them to participate. The participants feel free to comment, interact, and share, and also to produce timely, interesting material that will be accepted and accelerated by their peers.
My Guest Blog
Bloggers always look for platforms to share their work. The forum at My Guest Blog is a “safe” place for bloggers to find sites and individuals to connect with to share, network, and build their brand. Bloggers reach out to their peers, interact and participate on discussions in the forums. It is perhaps one of the few places on the Internet where it is actually encouraged to talk about yourself! The bloggers do benefit, but so do blog owners as they receive original, targeted content and targeted traffic on their site.
20 Something Bloggers
Surf the blogging world, and you’re sure to find one that answers a need: parenting, cooking, health, medicine, technology, religion, etc. There are numerous blogs with just as many niche categories that cater to a segment of the population. No matter where you look, there’s something for everyone about everything. Or is there?
Formed in June 2007, 20 Something Bloggers attracted bloggers who wrote on all types of topics and themes. The only requirement to join the network was that the blogger had to have their own blog and be in their twenties. Why was this? The site owner felt that the twenty-year-old demographic wasn’t being adequately represented. However, through the formation of this specific platform, the community owners have created an excited age group who felt that their ideas weren’t important. The bloggers not only enjoy the interaction, but the network has gained mass global with bloggers from all over the world who share their ideas and thoughts.
