Community Forums?
Do blogs contain the community momentum to start a forum about their blog? A lot of big blogs seem to have a pretty decent following that comment on their post. Wouldn’t it be helpful to push this discussion to a forum or something? It doesn’t even have to be a forum about your blog. Maybe, just about a related topic.
I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while. Wondering if it would be benefitial and worth the trouble. I mean, I know I don’t have enough people coming yet to start it. But, people like John Chow haven’t even taken the opportunities given to them. He has tens of thousands of people coming to his blog everyday. It seems that a forum would create a sense of community that would be harder to break from. Such as someone who has grown tired of his post but sticks around because of discussions proposed by others at a forum.
Just some food for thought.

Welcome back! I thought I wouldn’t hear back from you again. I believe the forum is a good thing,as it’s where my idea to start a blog, learn about mutual funds, etc got me started… Count me in when it’s up and running!
