For me though there is more it is about conversation. It is about shared listening and shared though development. It is about developing a shared conversation. We all have friends we sit and talk with for hours about some topics we love to share, well those are the blogging buddies I want the rest well those are things that we should be going as part of the conversation not to make the conversation. Two great examples of this are http://www.chrisheuer.com/ and http://www.chrisbrogan.com/ They are both very good at connecting, networking and engaging. They get the benefits of having blogging buddies because they connect with lots of bloggers and it happens naturally. A large part of their success with doing this is by facilitating other to connect. So I am going to make a try here. If you are looking for a Blogging Buddy on my topics or not comment below and you never know who may take you up on it.
What conversations do I want blogging buddys for:

I’d love a blogging buddy to help me identify and create my brand & in return I’m more than willing to interact, discuss, create or promote
This is great! I’m game..
Great Evan
I know you have several blogs. Which blogs and what topics are you looking for blogging buddies for?
Murray
I’m in too, but I think we need to have accountability from members. Lots of the time people say they’re interested, add their links and then drop out.
Hi
To find buddy’s here it would probably be helpful to put a link to the blog you want to have a buddy for and the subject / subjects you are looking for buddies to converse about.
I’d like a buddy for my blog Brain Foggles at http://brainfoggles.com
My subjects are product reviews, parenting, shopping and blogging, especially sharing tips to new bloggers.
I really like the idea of Blogging Buddies, but it is just like any other type of relationship building in that you have to find people that you trust. Also, it would be more helpful to bloggers to find people in or around their niche to be buddies with. I know Connie, but her blog and mine are very different animals, so it wouldn’t make sense to link them up. I think maybe writing circle style Blogging Circles might also work. Then if one person drops out the others can still continue on without them.

I know however I am also looking for Buddies for this blog. It would be great to know what conversations you would like to be part of and if you are currently looking for buddies?
I have been suggesting that we all need to collaborate far more than we do and that is especially true when it comes to Social Networking.
I am interested in collaborating with those who are serious about growing businesses and blogs and using Social Media.
I will visit each of the posts you linked above and comment and then share those posts across the Social Networks I frequent. By commenting and then sharing anyone can both support their favorite bloggers and themselves!
All of my blogs are dofollow using CommentLuv (features your latest post) and KeywordLuv (allows commentators to select their own anchor text). There is more detail on how dofollow works in a post on my blog that is always in the Most Popular section.
Murray count me and the MediaTrust / Relevantly Speaking peeps in. Very cool
So glad Lynn Terry did the interview with you. This blogging buddy idea is wonderful. Not being in the IM niche but rather a health related site, I hope I can find a couple of buddies as I think the potential for support and business is awesome.
