1 (d). Blogging community

"Communities are about shared interest. Blogs are about individual interests. There are enough blogs out there that there are bound to be many bloggers who share the same interests, and thus are born communities of shared interest amongst blogs. Communities, whether blogs or otherwise, stick together because those common interests remain strong and the connections between the people engage the community members," (Vinson, 2007).

One of the community blogging is:

To create a community blogs, you must have the owner of the blogs permission in order to get in or register because it is a community so you must have the permission in order to get in into the community or recognize as their "member". You can create your own community blogs if you have people who are blogging who have the same interest, hobbies, passion, things that can be share together and etc that are willing to join your community. Usually community blogs are created for students, business, and etc.

I think, bloggers need community to avoid them misleading or missuse the advantage of the blogs itself. In community bloggers, the things dicuss or share cannot be view by public or non-members of the community blogs, so it is safe. Or, in the example of Microsoft, bloggers are writing publicly about internal projects. Not only are they connecting Microsoft to the larger world, but they are connecting the community of internal experts to a wider world of experts outside the company. This builds an even larger community in which these people participate.
