Disregard, if it's already Been Said

I was reading someone's blog a few minutes ago and a thought popped in my head. Do you think the blog world took off like it did because of the sense of community it has?

I'm not one of these "remember the good old days" people, but one thing we have lost in our modern culture is a sense of community. Everyone is so far apart. I long for that sense. And I almost grasped it, reading this person's blog.
