The question is, is there any sense to creating a social network for bloggers? It would be nice to know what has been the experience of Alianzo in this respect. What I see is that Bitacoras.com is going to turn into a reference for people who are not a part of the blogosphere, and is going to be the point of entry for people to get to know the world of blogs. If they can pull this off, bloggers will be able to see the great utility of Bitacoras.com and will participate in an active way in the social network because it will have a direct benefit in their work with their blogs.
