I am pleased when Blogcatalog finally approve Accelarated Experience, a blog title to the site you are reading right now, http://absorbentmind.com. Read this post to know How I Chose The Domain Name?.
What Is BlogCatalog?
A social website which is said to have more than 80,000 sites submitted in one place. I may be wrong with the figure but you can see it for yourself that there is a huge number of bloggers everyday busying chatting, discussing and exchanging shouts (their personal mailboxes) with one another everyday. They have covered every needed feature a blogger would require to get the traffic, exposure and learning experience.
It is undeniably the place to submit your blog if you want to get a headstart in blogging. It might take you 48 hours to wait after your application is accepted but once you have your foot in the doorway, you will expect nothing less than 80,000 other blogs to connect with.
If you have studied the theory of society of cohesion, a term coined by Maria Montessori, you will understand perfectly the idea of how members of social community cohere to form a binding contract of friendship based on mutual freedom and respect for one another.
What you stand to gain from joining BlogCatalog is what bloggers want to achieve anyway. Readers, readers to comment on your blog, bloggers to discuss and share their experience, and lots more.
The key to BlogCatalog’s success is in their discussion board, shoutboxes and the fact that bloggers are free to choose who they want to connect with. Bloggers are people and human beings have to interact and actually become socially skilled and confident. That is the foundation of society.
Bloggers On The Main Discussion Board
Bloggers who have joined BC (blogcatalog) wear their badge proudly I think. I mean it creates a sense of belonging to a community. I know there have been many instances where you do get into disagreement in the discussion board. You can leave the general discussion board and focus on connecting people within your own groups.
Like I have stated before in a mirror post, “You are not a blogger until you join Blogcatalog”. Join now and get approval.

Hi, Dr Prahallad. It takes two people to agree on one point to clear the path for progression. Then as more begin to join in and share the same aspiration, a community is born. Well, can’t help but feel philosophical about the post. I am glad I can share this space with you.
