People who are active online have determined the size of the cloud in which they consume content and have a tendency not to venture outside of it. How then do you connect with them? By growing your own network and decreasing the distance of separation.

Here’s a Youtube link to Decrease the Distance by Growing Your Network

Today’s challenge is simple: reach out. Find a new blogger with whom you haven’t connected before and visit their site. Subscribe, comment, or send them an encouraging note. In my next post, I’d like to talk about optimizing your blog for getting your content into the cloud.

    Brandon,

    I really like how this whole cloud concept is coming together. Today’s suggestion of reaching out to a blogger that is new to us is something I used to concentrate on each week, but as you pointed out I unintentionally limited my cloud and dropped that from my routine. Keep up the good work.

    P.S. Your “S” words are really hissing on this recording. Might need a filter for the mic.

    Very well put!

    I feel like I’ve been avoiding getting to active with Twitter and Blogging, but since I’ve taken part I’ve learned and found so many new things.

    It’s something you can’t really comprehend until you actually venture out of your “cloud”!

    Brandon you had me so pumped to find a new blog that I wasted no time. I didn’t even finish watching your video (just kidding) and I rushed over to your blog roll. I was a little disappointed not to see any of my blogs listed there, but I’m over that now (just kidding again). I saw TheBrandBuilder and since I just did a post about branding I decided to visit. I was very surprised to see that it’s a WordPress.com blog, (which I think is just grand)and a lovely one at that. Thanks for the inspiration, and for finding a cool place for me to hang out for a bit.
