Like most of you reading this, I spend much of my day reading through various liberty-oriented blogs.  Lately, though, I’ve begun to realize that I spend too much of my day on this endeavor.

I have nine blog RSS feeds, one soccer-related (Forza Viola!) and eight liberty-related, on my iGoogle page.  I have three more, this one included, as buttons on my Bookmarks Toolbar.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who runs across several more interesting blogs daily; either through surfing or recommendations.  It’s great that there are so many people concerned enough with the ideas of freedom and liberty that we have such an extraordinary number of bloggers focused on these topics.

Our movement has a delightful surplus of bloggers.  It also has a wasteful overabundance of blogs.

Who can read them all?  Not I.  I only comment on five or six blogs, I don’t even read the comments on the others.  It’s just too much to do.  Too many sign-in pages.  So many other readers commenting that I could never build any kind of relationship with them and feel like I was part of the community of that blog.

The Agora! Group on Bureaucrash Social has 110 members.  I would not be surprised to learn that it had somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-60 bloggers.  The Atheist/Agnostic Crashers Group is the same way.  That group has 124 crashers and I would not be surprised if it had at least 50 bloggers among its roster.

What if the 25 or so bloggers in the Christian Crashers Group were to get together and form a few collaborative blogs?  How much traffic could a blog with five major and ten minor contributors generate?  My guess is that it could generate much more than 15 separate blogs could.  Fresh content draws people in and then keeps them coming back for more.

Want to monetize the blog?  Great.  All of that fresh content, diversity of opinions on related issues and reader loyalty will be much more attractive to advertisers.  Find a way to share the costs and the revenue.  I don’t need to explain the virtues of entrepreneurship to anyone on this site.

The social networking aspect of Bureaucrash Social is perfectly suited to bringing together bloggers and would-be bloggers with similar interests.

Be sure to check out the Blogging Libertarian Style Group and let’s really utilize the potential of this site to the fullest.  Let’s get organized.
