Feeds, feedback and feedburner - somehow there is a message here for us, and we blog and connect and intercommunicate until we get it and express it again and again. I love the group mind of the blogosphere and the individual expressions I discover reading the blogs of others. I also love to post about my passions or nifty stuff or the work of friends, especially artists. Isabella, you are spot on about the "type" of blogger, but as the blog becomes a more ubiquitous medium, we'll see all kinds. Next year who knows what the profile of the average blogger will be. We can only hope that the "morphogenetic field" that has been set up over the past few years will have staying power, creating an unwritten framework for bloggers in years to come. Much to think about here - I just realized I started ranting on - thanks for the inspiration!

Me too, I'm sometimes so pleasantly surprised by the generosity of some bloggers, and not only with their share of knowledge on blogs, but also in comments. There are some bloggers, yourself included, who write comments that are longer than other bloggers' posts, and with much more insight. You’re certainly very welcome, Lauren.

(just in that first sentence you can see enthusiastic, lively, expressive and the desire to learn. Ha!) Vivien, thanks for inviting Isabella to write this and Isabella thanks for accepting the invitation. I never thought about looking into the psychological profile of bloggers, but most of the things mentioned here describe me for sure. I'm very interested in personal growth and challenging the status quo (at least the one within myself), which includes a lust for learning. Online is also a less intimidating way for the introverts in us to step out and meet new people. And I too have noticed the extreme lack of greed in all of the serious bloggers I chat with (i.e. not the scrappers, but the people here for the long haul). I think every blog I read the authors could be paid to write books on their subjects and yet here they are online giving so much away for free! It's pretty incredible, really. And they are all so willing to help, offer advice and do something nice just because. It's a really great community, this blogosphere :) This was really facinating!

Since it was received with such a great feedback, I hope that this will not be your only post on Inspiration Bit. I've just created an account on Twitter, but haven't done anything with it yet. I'll be posting all my social networking credentials soon, so can get some interaction going ;-) David, Jacob and Ina, really glad to see that you all enjoyed the article. Looks like Isabella was right on spot by highlighting the huge appetite for learning that describes the majority of bloggers so well. haha, Isabella, you certainly know how to made others laugh ;-)

(also, there's meetup, have you ever tried that?) ah! that's something i've totally missed in the profile: opinionated and a bit smart-alecky! :) (that certainly describes me) david, jacob and ina - thanks for your comments!

Personally, don't know other bloggers "in person", "off-line" or how ever you call it (or think I don't!). So, can just talk about myself. I can totally see many (might be a bit presumptuous to use the word All) of the above mentioned character traits in me. And as far as greed goes, true as well, I consider myself to be anything but greedy (except for knowledge!). Thanks again and bestest wishes! Ladies, thank you for putting this together!

I agree that most people who blog or who read blogs on a daily basis are very focused on learning. It may seem like an odd place to learn (or at least it did a few years ago), but there's just so much information that can be found from other people. I learn from both the blogs that I read and the classes that I attend, and I think that they are both equally important in helping me get where I want to be. Thanks Vivien and Isabella for this great read!
