Is the Blogosphere Biblical?

I sometimes look at what transpires in the Social Media landscape and see Scripture at work. Such as

Romans 12:15 – Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
More than any other space, even though peers and collaborators are also, often times, competitors, the blogosphere is filled with this kind of spirit.

Maybe it's because we were all, at one time or another — and a short time ago at that – new, exploring, cutting (and grinding) our teeth wondering if anyone was reading (and liking) our stuff. It is with the awards, the lists, and the accolades, that we get to celebrate each other's brilliance — brilliance we appreciate because it is offered and shared freely, thereby making us all smarter.

The chorus for the old hymn, Wondrous Love also speaks to the spirit I see alive and well in the conversphere:

The ground is level at the foot of the cross.

Anyone may come there for there is no cost

Rich man or poor man, bonded or free.

The ground was leveled that day at Calvary.

At the foundation of blogging, twittering, or whatever toolset you're just now learning — the first step is on equal ground.  Whether it's Guy Kawasaki or Guy Harris or That Video Guy, you'll find engagement. We all start on level ground, and we're all part of the conversation, the connection, the collaboration.

I've said elsewhere, upon engagement, you'll find a signal. So stay on the path of this conversation — and may the blessings you receive from the conversphere be many

Find Your Social Media ROI

I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.
