Creating a network for female bloggers
I have just returned home from a meetup of female bloggers in Sydney. It was a group of just five of us, but the passion these women displayed not only for their chosen niche but bloggering as a whole was incredible. This got me thinking, which is probably a dangerous thing to do when on a massive sugar high from devouring way too much chocolate. I have seen places for female bloggers before but they are just either on a blog or a forum or an email group and they never seem to move much out of that sphere. Would a network that encompassed all of these things plus social networking actually work? I think it would be great to get together a group of women who can not only discuss blogging but work together to promote each other’s blogs through tools like StumbleUpon as well and perhaps use Twitter or Plurk to network as well.
Initially I thought of just restricting it to Australian female bloggers as down here we tend to miss out on other American centric women blogging networks. Then again, I hate so much missing out on really cool stuff that I would hate to do it to others.
So, what do you all think? Would something like that work? Or would it be really cool for a month or so and then die out because nobody can be bothered to participate?
This idea is really in an embryonic stage so all suggestions, criticisms and ideas are more than welcome.
