I think every blogger goes through a point where they think, “What should I blog about?” Obviously, for me anyway, random topics don’t work very well. I need something consistent. I need a theme. Well, today I think I’ve come up that theme.
I started “surfing the net” regularly about nine years ago. Right from the beginning I mainly visited chat rooms and discussion forums. Having conversations with people from other states, or even other countries, about the same topic amazed me. There was one forum, SoundDomain, that I continue to visit even today.
Over the next few years I joined other communities (forums) before starting a few of my own in 2005. Only one of those remains active today, Skywarn Online. This community has over 2,700 members and 42,000 posts. Not too bad considering it has a very specific audience, storm spotters.
A couple years ago I started using Facebook and Twitter. I quickly realized the power of social media and how it could benefit my sites.
So where am I going with all of this?
I’ve decided to blog about my online, interactive experiences. Whether it be about Facebook, Twitter, discussion forums, online communities, web hosting or domain registrars, I’m going to share my knowledge here.
Please follow me on Facebook and Twitter so you’ll know when I create new blog entries.
