In this present day and age, blogging has emerged as a great venue for meeting people online. You probably know that blogs are personal web logs that function as a kind of online diary or journal. However, blogs serve many purposes and vary in style and interests. There are some folks who use blogs to communicate their political and religious views, while some use their blogs to build a source of income.

People can now exploit blogs as a great resource for meeting people online who share their views and interests. It is also possible to meet people who have different views and opinions through blogging. A comment section connected to each post allows you to determine a blogger's opinion and interests. A visitor can also make a comment about an entry. This comment provides information about the person making the comment. A blogger can in turn, visit the person's blog and make a comment of his own.

Many people find this form of meeting people online is very appealing. My blog merges freelance writing with poetry and art. In my experience, this is a great way to meet people who have the same interests. I have a handful of readers who visit on a regular basis and I visit their blogs as well. We converse through our comments, share ideas and critique each other's art and poetry. I have met many interesting poets, artists and aspiring freelance writers through this very enjoyable process.

A blog is a great tool for meeting people online who live nearby or for meeting people who attended the same school or hold the same job. I wanted to found a person went to Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania because I attended this college as well. I was able to find this person through a valuable feature found on blogs.

You can include your favorite movies, music and books with your information when you create your profile. You can then select one of your interests to find other bloggers who share that interest after you completed your profile. Since I spend most of my time reading books, I decided to use my blog for meeting people online who included the book in their list of favorites. As a result, I have gained a new, valuable friendship and we have been sending messages to each other for months now.

You should consider blogging if you want to find a way of meeting people online. It's easy, fun and free. You can surely find a new friend in the process. In fact, you may even locate someone you already know but have lost touch with over the years.
