Robi Ganguly’s Big Ideas

I was trying to catch up on some blogreading (an impossible task) today and came, by way of Valeria’s Conversation Agent blog, across this post about one blogger’s growth in popularity and the fact that he’s very close to having 500 trackbacks registered in Technorati. He’s asking folks to spread the word and link to him if they haven’t already.

I read his post and decided that it didn’t sound like he was trying to falsely generate interest. In fact, after reading that post as well as a few others (check this one out too) and the comments, it became quite clear that this is someone genuine. In his post, he and his commenters really exemplify the fact that you can use a blog to reach out and connect with people all over the world. Through blogging, one can create relationships of a global nature. I think that this phenomenon, more than anything else, is why I choose to blog and why I’m excited about the potential impact of the Internet as it continues to develop.

Whether it’s through blogging, MySpace, Facebook, eBay, Yahoo!, etc. what is really transformational is the fact that we can all “meet” people around the world who share our interests and passions, without geographic limitations. We can even become “famous” with just our minds, a computer and an internet connection. It’s really quite amazing. If ideas are currency and conversation is the means by which we transact business, the Internet is providing us with the tools to exponentially increase the reach and capacity of our conversations. It allows us to create globally tested ideas and to potentially converse with anyone, anywhere. That is hugely valuable.

So here you go, Gavin, I’m linking to you and hopefully sharing you with a few new readers who can benefit from your ideas and you from theirs.
