DISQUS

L.L. Barkat · 1 year ago

I read that "Author Q's" one recently too! (Hey, are we preparing for the same seminar? ;-)

What rises to the top for me on some of these is that bloggers will find it important to join "sub-communities", even within Social Networks. That's one of the reasons I've gotten interested in Zimbio.

I agree about the sub-communities, L.L. I imagine a large venn diagram with all of the overlapping communities that I'm part of. In each community, I create a way for them to connect with my site if people are interested. It isn't a hard sell or anything. I just share my site with others transparently and freely.

Thanks, Marcus. I will definitely go read these article and come back to comment.

And glad we could add a little sunshine to your morning. :)

Now, this was a post (and links) worth reading! I am definitely passing this post on. I found it extremely helpful and share much of the articles' enthusiasm for the use of blogs in small business.

Because my "products" are CDs and books, the blog is PERFECT when it comes to updating fans about our tours or writing developments. In fact, I've converted ALL of my sites from static, stationary web spaces to active blogging communities where I HIGHLY encourage people to leaves comments and join in discussions by posting questions in the majority of my posts.

I really appreciate you taking the time to put all this together and summarize the links.

Blessings!

Let me be the first to say that Zimbio WORKS. I only heard of it from L.L. a few days ago. I signed up and my traffic is almost double. That is still not much, but a great boost for sure!

Reading these articles and L.L.'s related posts is almost, but obviously not at all, as good as attending Mount Hermon. Thank you for the cyber-opportunity of attending...and learning.

Spaghettipie, you definitely brought sunshine to the morning. Nothing beats good kid videos in my book.

Christopher, that is high praise! Thank you so much for the encouragement.

Carl, you've convinced me! Now if I can just find the time to head over there and see if the traffic is sticky.

Ann, I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying your blog. And I'm always amazed that you don't have comments turned on.
