As I discussed about blogosphere in my previous post, I mentioned that blogs directly forms a virtual community, where all bloggers are interconnected and can communicate with one another depending on what are the similar interest they possess. For instance, a blogger published a post about the latest trend of fashion, other bloggers can link to the particular blog by typing the tag 'fashion' in any search engine. The responds of the readers will be reflected in the commentary column provided in the blog. That is also the most direct way to communicate to the writer about what their opinions are to the particular post, and then become a platform for the readers to share their interest and build a community out of it. Bloggers and readers socialize among themselves by sharing their opinion on a particular topic or even just to discuss their common interest. Now there are even bloggers community such as Nuffnang Malaysia creating a protal of all bloggers to gather and discuss exchange blogging experiences. Every now and then Nuffnang will organise meet ups and event to gather bloggers together to interact among themselves.

One of my personal favorite blog is kennysia.com, a well-known blogger in Malaysia. I first came to know this blog last year when I was reading one of my personal friend's blog. In her link column, she listed some of her frequently visit blogs, and one of it was kennysia.com.
Kenny Sia's blog is mainly humorous. He uses humor to talk about serious issues such as elections, government policies and etc. However, he also writes reviews on places he'd been to such as countries, restaurants, hotels and more. Everyday, hundreds and thousand of people visit his blog and some even leaves comments for his post. By Googling the keyword 'kenny sia', the result shows 252,000 hits. Which means there are more then 2oo thousand articles about Kenny Sia can be found in the internet.
Even though he's not a full-time blogger, Kenny Sia is earning by blogging. Advertisers scouted for popular bloggers to advertise their product just by displaying a banner in kennysia.com. The more reputable a blog is, the more people will visit the blog. But how does people get to know famous bloggers?
Bloggers who own their own blog will post a link to kennysia.com and from there, people who visited blogs that are linked to Kenny Sia's blog will get to know his blog as well just by clicking the link. I have a personal blog that is linked to kennysia.com. Visitors of my blog can link themselves directly Kenny Sia's blog and from there we get to share our experiences and interest of visiting kennysia.com in the virtual world. And the threat does not end there. After they visit the blog themselves, they can either choose to comment on his page or link the website to the readers own blogs to introduce the blog to their own readers. The community keeps getting bigger and bigger and it will never stops. Therefore I said blogging forms an interconnected community, where everyone is connected to everyone.
