Network of BlogHers? You Bet.

Quite a few of the blogs I lurk on (yes, I’m a very accomplished and active lurker) are part of a network that I never new existed. According to their site, three bloggers started a sort of co-op in 2005. Their goal is to provide a way for female bloggers (and bloggers who have “a demonstrated female audience”) to promote their website, participate in a community, learn, and have economic opportunity.

A cool 8 million women a month later, BlogHer seems to have reached it’s goal.

I’m still learning about this group and I’m not sure what I think. My initial reaction is WOW! I love the idea of a community of bloggers – not just because they share a software or web provider, but because they share a common interest (blogging).

My follow-up reaction is … ack … ads, ads, everywhere! I mean it’s nuts! Too much. Overwhelming.

Having said that, I’m impressed at the number of highly intelligent folks out there who are writing – many of them daily – on topics across the spectrum. I’m intrigued at the power of their words and their sheer number. I’m curious about what I might add to the dialog as I feel my way around the blogosphere.

If you visit, and I recommend at least a peek, be prepared for the gammut. BlogHer is, after all, a community and the bloggers there write about the real world - with all of its joys and imperfections. Bottom line? It takes all kinds to make life interesting … and BlogHer is nothing if not interesting!

Happy Reading!
