Blog Day 2005

Perhaps there’s time to push yourself above the limit of reading blogs in these days. First, Duncan pulled the 100 Blogs in 100 Days out of nowhere, now Nir Ofir created the Blog Day 2005. The idea is to maximize the blogosphere on August 31st 2005: Every blogger from all over the world is supposed to post a recommendation of at least 5 new blogs (in the same time). As effect, the readers of the participating blogs will find new unknown blogs and authors. I’m with this useful idea which reminds me of somehow of a push-and-pull marketing campaign! This Blog Day will push the blogs that either don’t maintain their daily reads as a blogroll or don’t link other blogs for giving credit as sources, but will these others who are being linked by the participants of the Blog Day honor being pushed?

Many authors do not communicate with other authors, and various blogs do not even offer to discuss within comments or trackbacks. Instead of living from this inter-connectivity within the blogosphere, some quite good authors (and their blogs) won’t be recognized elsewhere but in the niche of unknownness.
