BlogDay 2005

August 31, 2005 By Leave a Comment

In recognition of BlogDay 2005, an initiative to encourage bloggers to recommend other bloggers on August 31, 2005, I’m posting some pointers to other places. To spread the love, I won’t include links to my neighbor ArtsJournal bloggers (except for that one), despite their worthiness and intriguing posts. Instead, I’m suggesting five that might be off your usual path: #

  • The Social Software Weblog
    A round-up of new technologies and initiatives in social software (blogs, flash mobs, social networking, mobile phone systems, etc.). Great for insights and fresh perspectives on how people interact through technology (or might soon). #

  • BoingBoing
    A cross between a blog and a directory, providing seemingly endless links to bafflingly interesting things on the web: A ”freedom primer” about slavery from 1864, freshly scanned and posted on-line; a post about the upcoming ”speak like a pirate day” (September 19, if you must know); a Dutch library lending out people for interesting conversations; and that’s just a few from the past week. #

  • Information Aesthetics
    Where data meets art…a collection of links and commentary on innovative ways of presenting information — practical and otherwise. #

  • MarketingVox
    News and trend-tracking in on-line marketing. #

  • Charity Governance
    Deeper than most would care to go into nonprofit governance and policy issues…but it’s my job, ma’am.
So many other worthy blogs, but according to BlogDay protocol, I’m only supposed to provide five. If you’re interested in following even more recommendation trails, try the BlogDay tag on Technorati. #
