Defining the Blogosphere - My Two Cents

Let me just say something that all bloggers can easily relate to,

"My two cents are worth more than your dollar just because they are mine."

I believe that is what the blogging world is all about. Everybody putting in their two cents in one way or the other to make up this big piggy bank filled with thoughts, ideas and opinions.

Whats your definition of the blogosphere?

If we didn't believe in what we were saying and posting, then I guess we'd be pretty stupid to bother at all with maintaining a blog.

Here's my two cents thrown into the bank:
*Not sure that my two cents need to be worth more than your dollar
*Not all ideas ARE created equal - some ARE worth more than two cents, some worth less
*the question of authority looms in the shadows here: You just may have greater expertise in an area that I do....therefore, your thoughts actually DO carry more weight than mine

DEFINITION of the blogoshphere (I'll expand upon yours: a big bloggy bank of thoughts that somehow coalesces into TRUTH. It's a process very similar to mindfulness or insight meditation, perhaps. We just keep watching the "stream" ...eventually truth surfaces.

My about page says it pretty clearly
"but bloggers are what they are, they like to think everyone else is dying to read what they have to say, and they are the greatest hidden undiscovered gift out there. I am one of them, a blogger."

  So true...so very true...I think its the element of getting noticed as well...we all crave for the spotlight, bloggers crave just a little bit more...then a little bit further more...

My two cents are worth more than yours because mine are euros. At least they're worth more for now...
