Blog Day is August 31st

Blog Day 2007 Jeff Pulver is at it again. He’s started a blog-tag game for Blog Day, this time with a really neat twist. Highlight five blogs from anywhere in the world that aren’t necessarily your blog’s subject matter, viewpoint, or style. I love the premise, because it’s yet another way to reach out and find something new. The idea of pointing out international blogs is even more fun to me, because it makes me think a bit more.

Here are five blogs of people I know from around the world that you should check out:

(Side note: I wanted one US blog in this mix, but snickered when I put up Rosa’s, because LOTS of people in the US make the mistake of calling Hawaii another country. Sad, sad Americans.)

So there you have it. Five blogs you probably aren’t reading, by intelligent people from very different walks of life. Check them out, read a few posts, comment if you find something worthwhile, and then consider subscribing.

Now, to tag five victims, er, friends:

Cory Dinon, Doug Haslam, Rob Hatch, Michelle Lamar, and Jon Glassett. Show me/us five blogs from wherever that people should get to know.

    Thank you Chris! I truly appreciate this, however I do have an update for you and your readers – I have Talking Story on hiatus (though I’m keeping the archives actively accessible for folks) and have moved over to MWACoaching (linked with my name for you) primarily writing there and on http://www.JoyfulJubilantLearning.com. I have a last-post up at Talking Story with the new feed choices.

    And yes – we do have the best of both worlds in Hawaii, so come join me for a taste of island living in America!

    Mahalo nui loa Chris, Aloha hugs :-)

    Thanks for your kind words Chris.
    I find this day very special as we make an effort to seek and discover new sites around the world, each offering something a bit different.

    BlogDay on Aug 31 is a worthwhile thing to do. I admire the attempt. If you would some insight on five to find, you can always check out the Hitchhikers Guide to the Blogosphere. The Team finds a new blog almost every week day. Occasionally, we do Five on Fridays.

    How many blogs are there today?

    More than enough to go around and then some!

    Certainly can use more hitchhikers on the trail!

    Let’s keep our eyes out.
