I think I can successfully communicate and entertain a much broader audience.I’m estimating this audience to include about 1 billion people. By limiting my on-line identity to the specifics of my physical life, am I limiting my potential audience and my potential range of topics that I can write on? I don’t know, but I worry that I might.

Sometimes it seems like I actually DO spend more time in the blogscape than in the real world.

Mark, thanks again for your post; I think everyone is quickly learning they need to live in the blogosphere – not any one specific place geographically :)

Daan – I like your blog! :)

While it is true that the Dutch are known for their linguistic capabilities, I think you have the right idea; the Dutch will understand English, the English may not understand Dutch! Keep going – it’s great!

Great article Mark, I completely agree. I’m from Holland, but have studied in England for two years. I started my own blog last week (www.taxidrivermarketing.com) and didn’t have to think twice about the language in which I was going to write.

There’s about 16m people in Holland and the blogosphere is relatively small. Besides, the Dutch are known for their linguistic capabilities. The chances of a Dutch person not understanding English are far smaller than an English speaken person understanding Dutch.

Most of my favourite bloggers write in English and although there are a few good Dutch blogs and bloggers, by blogging in Dutch I would alienate most people I hope to interact with at some point.

Besides, I feel that I can communicate more effectively and creatively in English.
