Happy Blog Day 2007
*whew* I almost missed it. So what is Blog Day?
BlogDay was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest. On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to their blog visitors.
With the goal in mind, on this day every blogger will post a recommendation of 5 new blogs. This way, all blog readers will find themselves leaping around and discovering new, previously unknown blogs.
In keeping with tradition here are 5 blogs I read daily/weekly via my Google RSS Reader and think you should subscribe to.
1) The Burgh Blog – Pitt Girl’s hysterical look into life as a Pittsburgher in a city filled with killer pigeons, a mayor who wants everyone to drink and David Conrad addicts.
2) Men in Aprons – Cooking for men in a world beyond ramen noodles and delivery.
3) Chris Brogan – I was hesitant to link to Chris since anyone who has ever breathed a podcast or scribbled a blog knows of him. He’s a bud of mine that is the social networking grand poobah of the New Media Generation. Oh yeah and likes it when I buy him beer. I have learned a lot on getting more involved in my own show let alone the local community from Chris via the Podcamps and his blog. Check him out if you’re looking for some tips and inspiration.
4) Erie Media-Go-Round – As the description reads “Jack Tirak’s Very Candid Views and News About Erie Media”. Ever since I left Erie in 98 (for Pittsburgh) I have been obsessed with news from back home. I don’t know if it was from how 1/2 assed I realized things were done there after the move opened my eyes or the fact that I honestly wished that someone would turn things around. Jack’s blog is the epicenter for what is happening in Erie Media today. Users in the comments section have countless times called out the local media on things they missed or screwed up. I do without the chickens posting as Anonymous but eh, you’ll have that. If you’re from Erie this is a must bookmark.
5) Something to be Desired & STBD Behind the Scenes – Yeah this is a 2 parter. 1st being the show and second the behind the scenes blog. Every week Just Kownacki releases a new episode in his long running web series which is filmed and based in Pittsburgh. I have been friends with Justin and some of the cast for over a year now and will admit that I am addicted to the series. The behind the scenes is a unique look as to what goes on behind the scene with the filming of each episode and the hard work involved.
There are my 5 for today. If you want more check out my Blog Roll to the left.
cheers!
