The easiest way to get acquainted
with the conventions of the blog format is to start
reading them. The more blogs you read, the more you’ll
get a feel for the depth and breadth of style and subject
matter they have to offer.
Here are a few sources:
Blog Monitors
- Blogdex (http://blogdex.com/)
- Daypop (http://daypop.com/)
- Technorati (http://technorati.com/)
These three sites monitor millions of blogs every minute
of every day, searching for the top key words being
mentioned in blog posts or in the most popular links and
sites. It’s like being in a huge convention hall
eavesdropping on billions of conversations at the same
time. This is a fantastic way to do market research and to
see what everybody is buzzing about. The collective
‘hive’ of blogs is often called the blogosphere.
Often, links and news bubble up in the blogosphere first,
even before they reach your evening television news
program.
Blog Search Engines and Directories
- Blogarama (http://blogarama.com/)
- Globe of Blogs (http://globeofblogs.com/)
- The Open Directory (http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Weblogs/)
Just like web sites, there are also directories and search
engines devoted to cataloging the ever-growing global
network of blogs. Try searching by topic or geographic
location.
Search Engines
- Google (http://google.com/)
- Yahoo! (http://yahoo.com/)
- A9 (http://a9.com/)
As usual, Google and friends to the rescue! These are the
more traditional and widely known search engines. Type in
some topic and the word ‘blogs’ and see what results
come up. The more specific keywords, the more likely you
are to find bloggers talking about what you’re
interested in.
Blogrolls
And number ten is the blogroll. Most blogs have a blogroll,
which is a list of a blogger’s favorite blogs and
websites. If you find a blog you like, try checking out
the other sites that the blogger likes. You might find
other valuable sites and blogs to read.
The more your read blogs, the more you'll catch the
nuances and conventions that have made them the fastest,
easiest, cheapest way to publish online.
