I like the word “blogosphere.” It reminds me of the term logosphere, which is the world of words. In a sense, that’s what the blogosphere is, a world of words, but with a difference. These words appear exclusively on blogs throughout the world.

What I like best about the term blogosphere is that it implies an inter-connectivity, much like brain cells are connected by synapses. Begin with a neuron in an obscure part of the brain and you’ll eventually reach pathways to all parts of the brain. Whether your blog is a means of personal expression or if you are blogging for profit, the inter-connectivity is what separates them from traditional websites.

You might use a website for, say, MLM lead generation. But if you want real MLM success, you need a way for your downline to interact with you and with each other. In my opinion, a blog is the best venue for that. Combine it with a forum and you’ve got a winning combination.
