Building communities online-The Social Network

The Social Network
blogging communities
Often something good happens out of disappointment and wanting a better experience. I was not happy with the overall level of socializing and connecting in blogging. Sure I joined every site on the planet and often watched the owner push their own agendas and rules and profit at the cost of having a successful place for bloggers to connect.
BloggerLUV has no agenda other then being open to every blogger around the world. When I opened up bloggerluv I made a conscious decision to treat everyone the same no matter how well known they may be .
Whether your some young blogger from India or my next door neighbor means nothing on how I see you on the site. I was even looking at the featured member’s widget one day and said hey these are my buddies and the real reason I removed it was I didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings by not being on there.
I also save time not having to think about who to add etc so the mindset that I have is even people that I don’t like can join and I have had some bloggers act a little weird on there but I try to stay focused on the BIGGER picture.
The bigger picture and YES I am excited to see the movie The Social Network not that I like Facebook but I think it will be a bit insightful because I will be honest and tell you I plan on running with BloggerLUV.

Unlike most sites I will make sure that the first 200 members are giving a chance to invest in the site and profit from taking a risk on me. The site is still in it’s first evolution but don’t be fooled and think I am not studying better apps and features for the site and I know soon I will have more doors open from the site. I will be ready :)
I plan on sticking to my original goals and that is to help fast track bloggers to success :)
anything short of that is failure.

BloggerLUV is an Open Web Project which means we compete against no one in fact I will even help you build your own community.

I also added a DO FOLLOW Social Bookmarking spot on there and will help you add one to your site.
As far as building blogging  communities just remember one thing bloggers hate rules and the site polices and runs itself.
I really just go on there and have fun like everyone else :) OPEN WORKS :) saying Thanks don’t hurt either :)

Hi
I joined the blogging community at BloggerLuv through recommendation of Gail at Growmap. I am new to blogging and so have heaps to learn. At the moment it is just so good to meet so many people who want to help others to succeed. The blogging community has been so different to some of the IM sites I have come across where they are only interested in you buying their products. Other bloggers have visited my site,stayed to comment and even helped me with techie problems. Now that is BloggerLuv I reckon.
Can I please ask a question here? I notice on your site and other bloggers’ sites they have the BloggerLuv symbol. I am not a techie but would like to have it on my site. Can someone help me to do that?
Thanks for your article on why you set up BloggerLuv. I think it is very generous of you; especially for us newbies who are trying to get up and running.
