Blogging Communities Turn Anonymous
Strangers into Close Frie

I’ve been searching the Net
for blogging sites for a fair spell now and recently I came across a whole blogging community, which has grabbed my interest greatly. It’s called Joe User and it’s a site that many an bloggers all about the globe are partaking in. It is really well organized into categories such as Better Articles, Newest journal
entries, Top blogging sites, New sites and Most hit-on bloggers. The blogs range from really personal life musing to serious analysis of current affairs in the media.
The aspect that has appealed to me the most is the really personal type of blogging community. Many an folk are talking just about their feelings and issues just about life with folk that technically they have ne'er
met face to face. However, the type of comradery I’ve ‘witnessed’ as a viewer has truly astounded me. These folk talk to each else as although they are extremely close friends, and the strange thing is I think this is the reality.
When one person has thing
important happen to them in their life, up to 100 or more comments wish arrive under their journal
entry with proposal
and information as well as emotional keep from their blogging friends. Of course there are several differences in opinion, but the general perspective seems to be one of a positive approach to humanity. Folk are actually spilling out their souls to each other, and then acceptive
criticism as well as discussing possible solutions to problems. I just find this to be truly inspirational, a human community or ‘tribe’ that has formed just because of the Internet’s existence.
These folk must spend a lot of time human action with each other. Several are writing new entries everyday, as well as articles and conversations. The conversations ordinarily happen in the ‘comments’ section wherever
one can see that these folk often stay up into the late hours of the morning, blogging to each else back and forth. The figure of love shared by these discretional acquaintances is astounding. One could perceive the whole experience as a form of medical care but I think it is more much than that. I believe this is a sign of a revolution. The coming of the New Human Tribe has begun.
If random bloggers can evolve into a community of folk who trust, respect, and are intimate and united with each else this says a lot for the human condition. Folk are tired of the segregated, separatist reality of countries, cultures, races and religions. These group blogging sites, or collective on-line journals as I now like to think of them, are symbolic of the futurity connectedness of all of humanity. It may take a hundred years, or a thousand, or peradventure only fifty, but it emphatically looks like there’s hope yet for the warring, greedy humans. One day we all may be ‘one’ over again
in our minds as well as our physical forms.
