9best.blogspot.com | 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 www.blogdex.com
- Daypop www.daypop.com
- Technorati www.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 www.blogarama.com
- Globe of Blogs www.globeofblogs.com
- The Open Directory www.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 www.google.com
- Yahoo www.yahoo.com
- A9 www.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.
