Thoughts.com: New Free Blogging Community
I got a call from a friend today who has been travelling around the world for the last 12 year or so. Before he left he asked me to recommend a blogging service so that we all could keep up with his travels. At the time I recommended Typepad, as I thought it was a strong platform, but he now says that he is feeling a bit isolated and that blogging has become a bit of a chore.
One of the problems with blogging sometimes is you need a bit of support to keep you blogging on those days when you’d rather be doing something else. That’s why I think thoughts.com, who have just purchased this impartial review, is an interesting free blogging service.
Like many other services, thoughts.com offer free blogs, but the service works very hard to create a community out of its users. Thoughts, photos, videos and podcasts can all be shared with other community members. Finding like minded bloggers is easy as there’s a handy search engine, which can filter results by people, photos, videos and podcasts. Blogs are also organised into tags for quick browsing.
Having lots of similar blogs close to hand can also solve the problem that many newbie bloggers have, which is feeling that no-one is reading their material, because no comments are being left. By creating a ready-made audience for your material, thoughts.com have solved one of the biggest problems for new bloggers.
If you’re looking for a fully customizable blogging platform that you can tinker with, then thoughts.com probably isn’t for you. You probably would be better off with a platform like WordPress, which powers this site, which will give you full control over how your blog looks and how it behaves.
However, if you are just looking for a bit of a fun and nothing too serious, then thoughts.com is definitely worth a quick look.
