Blogging For Belonging

If you cruise through the blogosphere you can't help but notice that nobody really blogs alone. Sure, you can find the occasional blogger that doesn't belong the this group or that group, but for the most part bloggers tend to be found in packs. Groups of similarly inclined bloggers that want to speak to other similarly inclined bloggers for a feeling of camaradarie.

There are tons of them out there, Blogs for Bush, Munuviana, Blogger News Network, Blogcritics, American Flag League, Grand Centrist Station, The Wide Awakes, Homespun Bloggers, Progressive Bloggers Alliance, The Alliance of Free Blogs, Mind and Media, The Liberal Coalition and The blogdom of God just to name a few. They're all giving you something that you went to blogs to get in the first place, a sense of belonging. It is a form of tharapy that mere counseling can not begin to relate to.

Because there are these groups you have the capability to do something functional with your collective blogging abilities. It's like the Voltron metaphor that has been used. One blogger alone can not make a great impact, but when you gather several bloggers together with the same purpose in mind you can form Voltron...or at least make an impact on the world.

The beauty of these groups is that even though each one has a focus the range of groups available are quite possibly the most diverse thing I've ever seen. There is a blog group for nearly every topic you could think of. Just bounce through a few of the groups above if you don't believe me.
