Blogging is just as challenging, if not more so, than real world relationships. At least in the real world, I might run into you at the coffee shop and we can catch up there. But online, you have to seek people out. You have to join the conversation. Love the last line! Blogging is just as challenging, if not more so, than real world relationships.

Instead of floating in cyberspace, I realized that commenting was key to establishing relationships. You have done that very well with PR Interactive! Sometimes I have to remind myself to get back involved. It takes some work! @Jun-A lot of undergrads don't understand. I feel really lucky to have started LBN and be involved with Brazen to keep my ideas alive. But FD looks awesome, I am happy that there is another option for students out there- thanks to your hard work! @Meg- I always think back to when LBN just started and we had no traffic.

I asked them how many had been told to start a blog before to build their personal brand equity. You know what, none of them raised their hand! Undergraduates just don't understand the benefits of blogging. It's either that, or they're just too lazy to do it. That's why I've started <a href="http://www.futuredelivery.tv/careers/future-delivery-tv-episode-2-blog-for-your-career/" rel="nofollow">Future Delivery TV</a>, so that I can reach out to these undergraduates and young professionals and hopefully teach them something in a fun and productive way. Keep up the great posts! - <a href="http://LivingtheStartupLife.com" rel="nofollow">Jun Loayza</a> Hey Carla,

I love reading blogs and posting on my own, but I've been lacking when it comes to building conversations. I used to comment on several blogs each week, and now I rarely comment. I know that I learn a lot from the comments on my own posts, so I really need to start returning the favor. Your post was very timely and I hope it encourages more people to get out there and comment. Cheers! Meg Hi Carla,
