Copy of my comment :
Hi there, nice work, even as if you say you haven't invented all of it [your]self you did compiled it !

I would like to add some complexity :

Weblogs are facets of online identities [avatars], the same avatar of an individual may post to different blogs, say oldcola's blah blah, cigare, mybms etc It is an evidence that the same individual may use several avatars, say oldcola, DrDNA, avek etc.

A weblog network serve as an evaluation engine, frequently for recommendation, but some time to point-out in a negative form a site/blog, people to survey rather then network with

TrackBack, Technorati, Common Content etc., tends to help concentrate copies of distributed conversations. As an example, this piece of comment will be present on one of my blogs, and the integral post would be copied as well if a Common Contents allowed it ;-) Think about it.

Connecting with a community is not always necessary, replaced by "creating a community". People present initially on the network don't always preserve a central position, they may even leave the network without it breaking down.
