I absolutely love the opportunity to exchange with other bloggers here. However, the universe of bloggers is about 70 million strong! There must be other places where bloggers connect and share that I should be frequenting. Any recommendations?

Go to blogging conferences. I’ll be at Blog World Expo in New York in June, and there will be hundreds, if not thousands, of bloggers there.
Check Meetup.org to see if there are any meetups for fellow bloggers. If there aren’t, start one. Reach out to other bloggers in your area, and arrange monthly gatherings where you could share knowledge.
Also check to see if there is a Social Media Club chapter or Digital Marketing group in your city and start hanging out there too. There are always going to be bloggers in the midst.
Finally, as you meet local bloggers, start arranging face-to-face meetings with them over lunch or coffee, and talk about blogging. Learn from them, teach them what you know. Do this enough, and you’ll be the go to person for blogging in your city. Soon, bloggers will be coming to you, and you’ll know dozens if not hundreds of them.

@mspseudolus If you are blogging in a specific niche, look for communities based on those topics. Like 500px and Digital Photography School forum for photographers.

@mspseudolus The easiest way to find and connect to other bloggers is the blogging platform itselft. Most of them have forums that go beyond technical questions. For example there’s the Wordpress forum for WP meetups.

@mspseudolus You can try social bookmarking sites, such as BizSugar and Blogengage.
Also, look at LinkedIn groups.
Finally, many blogs have whole communities built around them. Find your favorite blogs and start “hanging out” there.
