Bloggers Circle

Apologies for the very light posting this week. Hopefully something approaching normal service will be resumed next week.

In the meantime, check out Matthew Taylor’s ‘Bloggers Circle‘ – if you have a site of your own, it’s well worth visiting it and joining. Here’s the drill:

  • Receive an email at about lunchtime when blogposts have been submitted by members of the circle
  • Once a week you can submit your best / most interesting blogpost to the circle
  • If other members of the circle find your post interesting or provocative they will write about it
  • In return, we ask you to write about a blog post promoted by another member of the circle twice a month
  • At the end of the month, the blog post written about by the most members will receive the ‘blog of the month’ prize
  • If you use Twitter, mark your post #bloggerscircle for profile on the homepage

What are you waiting for?

And if you don’t blog – really, try it. You may be pleasantly surprised….

    It sounds like ‘design-your-own-clique’. Care to persuade me otherwise?

    I’m keen on anything that breaks the monopsony supply of policy advice and anything that encourages people to blog or rewards good writing with traffic.

    Sure – there’s bound to be a degree of mutual backscratching here, but that comes neatly under the slightly fashionable heading of collaborative filtering, doesn’t it? ;-)
