Get Outside Your Online Bubble
Posted by Josh Klein
All of us live in a bubble.
Offline, your bubble is the city you live in, your place of worship, your school, your workplace.
You have an online bubble too. You have a profile on Facebook and Myspace, but not Friendster. For every blog you comment on, there are 100,000 you don’t. You have been IMing the same people since highschool.
Online bubbles are bigger and more accessible than offline bubbles, but their purpose is the same - to be in a network of like-minded people.
Get outside your bubble.
There are millions of niches all over the web. You could click on a stray link and wander into a blog about good meatloaf, or into a forum about the best dog toys. It doesn’t matter if you don’t cook and you have no pets.
When you surround yourself with like-minded people, it’s easy to forget that not everyone is exactly like you. Get some perspective by wandering.
