In order to share the similar interest among the bloggers, I believe that creating a blogging community will be the most appropriate way. By doing this, it allow the blogger to build up around the same interest and communicating via blogs (Vinson 2006).
Types of "B" community
There are three different types blogging community which are single blog community, central connecting topic community and boudaried communities.
Single blog community which is owned by one owner or organization. The communities member have no power to control or change the blog since the power within control by the central blogger. Unlike the central connecting topic community which tend to link the blogs together with the same interest of topic. Therefore in the topic centric communities both power and identity is distributed across the community. Moreover the rich network of perspectives allows the communities to have many views on an issue, rather than one that view that as stated in the single blog community (White 2006). Furthermore the communities tend have greater power since the power is distribute accross the community and the subcommunities is able to formed easily.
On the other hand, the bondaries communities is those that requires member registration to join the community and are offered the chance to create blog. The owner of the boundaries communitites hold much of the control over the blog and have the right to delete other members comments (White 2006).
Moreover, members tend to make discussion among themselves in the community discussion board. An example for a boundaries communities blog will be kennysia.com. This blog is owned by Kenny Sia and it only allows registered members to leave comment on it.
