The Bloggers With The Most To Say
I've been on 20sb for a while now, and I'm interested to know how other people use the site. What is your 20sb time spent doing? What have you found is the best way to connect with other bloggers? What makes finding new blogs, and helping people find yours easiest? How do you use 20sb?

Permalink Reply by Sweeney on December 14, 2011 at 5:20pm I really only use the message boards. I think I joined some groups back when I first joined the site, but I scarcely make use of that function. For me, it's mostly a social tool -- just a way to talk to other bloggers. As for using the site to find new blogs, the only blogs I really check out are those of people who frequent the forums and say interesting things. If I come across someone several times, I will probably check out their blog.
Permalink Reply by Sweeney on December 15, 2011 at 6:25am Oh, and chat. I haven't been in there much during finals hell, but that's also a big part of how I got to know people here. As silly as it may sound, some of my closest friends are people that I met here on 20sb, through a combination of chat, the boards, and checking out their blogs.
Permalink Reply by Christina on December 16, 2011 at 3:26am I was wondering about the whole chat thing on here. I'm not sure why, but it kind of intimidates me. Maybe it's because it takes me back to the days of anonymous chatrooms of the 90s or something, but I realized this is nothing like that. Right...? :)
Permalink Reply by Kimba McG on December 16, 2011 at 3:29am I don't either, and for the same reason. Although I think it's more because I'm afraid it will be filled with people having some awesome conversation and I'll come along in the middle of it and everyone will be like 'who the f are you?" and I'll be all "err... nobody..." even though I know this probably wouldn't happen.
Permalink Reply by Krys on December 17, 2011 at 5:38pm Ha, that's exactly how I feel about the chat! I'm too intimidated to actually use it because of that. :\
And that's exactly why I've been nominated for "most likely to kill the chat."

Usually, the conversation is filled with innuendo & the retorts come thick and fast, but none of it is personal. Most chat 'regulars' (oh, how uncool am I?) are really friendly, so please don't be too intimidated to use the chat function! :)
I only jump into chat really infrequently. Partly it's intimidation, partly it's living on the other side of the world and there being no one in the chat when I'm on 20SB! *sad face*

Then I check out the blogs of people who sound interesting lol .Really,I'm not as sinister as I sound xD

I've never used chat, I don't really promote my blog on here, and I don't have that many connections on here from adding people as friends. Like Sweeney said, it's a social tool more than anything.
