Most people start blogging for the simple reason of being heard. We write articles and interact with our readers and fellow bloggers. Some make money, some don’t. We see numerous blogs disappear and new ones arrive. It’s a cycle that we’re all familiar with.
We’re forgetting something
Through our journey and evolution as bloggers we often overlook a critical fact. We represent our countries with every post and comment we write. Our actions and attitudes toward other bloggers create connections between different cultures and nations.
Why is this important?
When we form bonds with different bloggers we’re actually building a bridge from our country to theirs. These friendships that we form help erase ignorance and prejudice. As bloggers, we are all connected – whether we like it or not. When we develop friendships with bloggers and readers from other countries we’re saying that cultural differences and different religious beliefs are unimportant.
What’s important to us, is that we recognized the inherent goodness of fellow human beings. This is a powerful example we’re setting for the rest of the world.
So what do we do now?
This is the best part. We just continue to form bonds with other bloggers and our readers. Keep interacting. Bring the world closer with every post and comment you make.
Bottom line? Keep building bridges.
nice post baron…Yes networking is the core theme behind blogging and it is a very welcome theme to bond across boundaries for creating one unified world.
That reminds me of a Coke commercial:
I like to buy the world a Coke…
That’s all I remember. You are right that blogging can be a great way to get to know people. Especially by commenting on other blogs. And there are the added benefits to commenting too.
Well written buddy. The main fun while blogging is that you get to make a lot of friends from diffrent countries.
Thanks for the kind words guys!
Thanks for letting me guest post Nirmal
Great post brown, i agree with you blogging is a great way to build bonds with people. That is how i came to know about you
The best part I like about blogging is that I get to meet so many different people
My blog’s traffic from my country is only 1% and 99% for the rest of the world lol!
Even I too had great experience in meeting people from all over the world. Networking is really important. Great post Brown Baron.
Building bridges really help whether it be in real word or in online world
