However, the blogging community is much different. It can be perceived as its own Internet or network within the Internet. The blogosphere consists of such a huge cluster of "real and genuine" people. Again, as I mentioned before... its moments like that that make me proud to be a blogger.
It doesn't get much more real than this: $3000+ Dollars in 24 hours... that is freaking amazing and should be something that makes the headlines. Will it though? Probably not... because as popular as the blogosphere is (100 + million blogs), it is still very underground in the real and unplugged world we live our daily lives in.
I can only imagine man... I am sure that you have found yourself on a cloud for the last 24 hours. I am very happy to discover the "true colors" of the blogging community. I can't begin to tell you how cool it is to know that there are tons of people out here that are dedicated and committed towards helping another fellow blogger out. I only wish things worked like this in the real world.
Too bad half that money has to go towards covering the cost of bandwidth due to the amount of traffic Darren sent you... LOL!!! Joking...
I agree totally. I love to deliver the good news and things on TV such as Britney Spears and things like that are totally making me want to puke. You know, the girl has issues... but come on.. can't they air something else?? LOL!!!
Anyways, as for this situation, I sure do wish RT and his wife the best!

With the events that took place with RT, I have visited quite a few blogs that are unfamiliar to me. So, for the time being, it is uncharted territory. I plan to fully visit many of these new blogs that I have associated myself with and get to know the authors much better. I don't know about the controversial story regarding Blogger Unleashed, but I will get up to speed as soon as I click this submit button. :)
That is indeed history in the making and like you I'm proud to be part of a community that rallies together when the need arises. Helping people we kind of know feels so much better than spending money on a crappy item that gathers dust anyway. :-)
Thank you for doing this post and spreading some link love in the process.

Another great thing about this wonderful giving situation is the fact that I have made a few new blog friends. I really enjoyed visiting your site today and I plan on coming back and have subscribed to your rss feed as well.
As for the idiotic comment by Mike Huang yes you are totally correct I used this opportunity to get a link from Problogger or wait maybe not as Darren had offered me to make a guest post back on 03.01.2008 in a comment for the post IZEA and Text Link Ads Bad For Blogging so I guess I did not have to use another's person misfortune for my gain.
But Mike it seems since this morning all you have been doing is comment trolling real bloggers site as I will quote the comment you left on the same post that Garry has mentioned here.
Apparently you seem to think this is funny and a joke. I would appreciated if you did not use my name or my blogs name to try to comment troll other respectable blogs.
Garry I apologize for this disgrace of a blogger trying to use such a delicate subject to try to gain some readers to his feed. It just disgusting.
Again my thanks and blessings for spreading the word.
Welcome to my blog and thanks for stopping by. I am not sure what is going on with Mike and yourself but in a few hours I will dig thu all the digital paper work and see what's up.
I like juicy topics...
Anyway, its nice to meet you and I appreciate that you contacted Darren and appreciate that he granted the request and published an announcement on his site. I can't believe over $3000 dollars was generated. One of the contributors donated $1000 dollars. Amazing. :)
There isn't any controversy at Blogger Unleashed, except maybe in the mind of Mike. Vic is brutal, untamed, and tells the truth to those that don't want to hear it. His words are laced with colorful metaphors, and that makes him unique. He doesn't care what people think of him as long as they listen to the message. I've been reading his blog since he started it, and sometimes it's difficult to read, but the advice he gives out is solid as a rock.
You've seen some of my blog reviews. Short, and to the point. Vic's blog, however, would take me days.
<h2>3000 Reasons Why Diggers Are WRONG About Bloggers</h2>
The Division Between Diggers and Bloggers
"It seems that bloggers get the "upraised nose" kind of attitude whenever they submit things to Digg. Bloggers are seen as self-serving and selfish in their self-promotion. I'm here to tell you that it just isn't so. The story will air on Sky News in the UK on Feb 22, 2008." -RT Cunningham.
Nice work covering this in DIGG.
I totally recommend that everyone check it out. :)
I am going to do a write up on this at my local online newspaper site.
