I was searching the internet for a list building blog. Seeing so many blogs brought back some memories. In 1999 a site named Blogger started its online life. Before that there were blogs all over the internet but their number was not a big one. After Blogger, blogging started to spread wide. At first weblogs were like online diaries. Do you remember the first diary your parents bought for you? Yes, that one, with a small lock on the cover. Diaries were private writings of people. If those people became famous in their lives, their diaries were published after they die with some names edited out. Of course that was then and this is the communication age.

As diaries lost their privacy new generation of writers were born. The bloggers from all around the world were writing about their experiences, sharing pictures and videos with anyone who is interested. 10 years after launching of Blogger executives of big corporations began to understand the importance of a blog in communication. Maybe some of them were from the first bloggers sharing their personal life with the world. For some time, blogs are not only personal experiences and feelings of people. They are informative places run by professionals of their industries.

Before the Internet if you wanted learn the ideas of a specialist, you bought his or her books. Now you can search the internet for that particular person and find his or her blog to learn all the secrets they are willing to share with the public. You can even write comments or send e-mail to the person in question. While searching for that List Building Blog I came across a blog entry titled “how I became an internet marketing guru.” Now let’s stop there and dissect this title.

Guru is a person with great knowledge and understanding who has a number of followers and who tries to teach them what his knowledge. These people are mostly religious leaders and an essential characteristic of a guru is that he is modest. Modesty prevents him from saying “I am a Guru.” There are things in life you can’t have control over. Some of these things are even good. For example you can win the lottery, or suggest a business plan and become rich without expecting to be. Then you can write a blog entry titled “how I became rich.” After you are hit from the head with a baseball bat you don’t suddenly become a guru. To become a guru is not an accidental thing. You work for tens of years to be called a guru by other people. This guy, when people asked him “what do you want to be when you grow up”, he probably answered “guru!” Unfortunately he could never learn the meaning of the word.

Blogs are like this. You start to write about a list building blog you found in the Internet and end up opening your heart to people you never met, will never meet and won’t recognize even if you meet them.
