FMF asks: 8. Why are so many good bloggers from/living in Australia?
Haven’t you heard? Eucalyptus is good for blogging.
Or… maybe it’s all the koalas and kangaroos telling bloggers ‘down under’ how to blog?
OK. Kidding aside, I’m not exactly sure how to answer this. I tend to forget about nationalities, race, citizenship, location, etc. when I’m online. Of course, my eyes do light up a bit, when references to things that’re familiar to me come up in what I read. But then, that’s probably just human nature for you. We gravitate towards “like-minded” individuals… and we hold on to things that resonate within us.
While I do enjoy reading weblogs written by other Oz-based bloggers — and there are plenty of good ones — I believe that good bloggers come in all shapes, sizes, colours and forms… and live in all sorts of wild and wonderful places.
That’s one great thing about the web: It opened the rest of the world to all of us. (That’s why I find it strange and funny every time I read the term “foreigners” when referring to someone online.)
In any case, I’m sure Aussie/Oz-based bloggers will love you, FMF, for asking this question.

Um, no offense, but I don’t think nobody really cares about your blog or your mediocre podcasting. I suggest you find other things to do than waste space on the world wide web. Besides your picture is the ugliest I’ve ever seen. Stop pretending as if you’re smart.

Sunny: Thanks. Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed that. And, I’m not even a masochist!
