I am participating in Blog Day 2005...where, for one long moment on August 31st, bloggers from all over the world will post recommendations of 5 new Blogs, preferably Blogs that are different from their personal blogs.
I am a little puzzled that a wiki site has set the agenda for the day rather than a blog site, but I am OK with that. Here are the 5 blogs that I find interesting and worthy of your BlogDay browsing:
- The News is NowPublic - a convergent site for writers, photographers, and videographers to contribute to reporting news and events...if you aren't satified with the news, change it. Add to it. Include the stuff that won't make the public airways.
- My Mom's Blog - she's 80 years
oldyoung, and as excited about blogging as anyone I have ever seen. Her blog includes audio and video...'sure blows the generational gap demographic stereotype! (I think I'll adopt her) - feedmap - it's not a blog but an application that allows you to map where your blog is coming from. It is run by an interesting blogger, Chandu Thota, who works for the MapPoint group at Microsoft. There is something about anchoring the blogosphere to geography that feels good to me.
- Ecademy Blogs - actually, this is an Ecademy community blog aggregator except the community members refer to it as the blog. I refer to it on my list as an example of what the blogosphere might look like if everyone was forced to view the same RSS feed. The sense of voice seems to get lost in the hubbub of so many people posting each day...but it is definitely an interesting hubbub.
- Nashville Is Talking - another blog that isn't really new, but it is a blog that is moderated and fed by other blogs within a relatively small geographic region. It is an interesting dynamic...with aspects of an online community and an occasional meet-up. I see this as an emerging pattern in community interactivity...'film at
