Blog community efforts

A short note about the various blog community efforts out there.

Sugar Kyle has added an 'active blogs' page https://sites.google.com/site/newedensource/eve-online-blogs/--active-blogs

Kirith has kicked off the latest round of 'blog banters' : EVE knowledge at http://www.ninveah.com/2013/07/blog-banter-47.html
 Eve Bloggers has it's feeds back again, and is calling on bloggers to submit their own sites again, at http://www.evebloggers.com/get-added

Eveblogs has it's independent blogs list at http://eveblogs.net/independent-blogs-latest-updates/

And of course, there is my own blogroll effort at http://foo-blogroll.blogspot.com.au/

I am feeling particularly interfering today.  I have no issues at all with several different large blogroll approaches being tried.  Each approach has it's merits, and it's difficulties.  Remain civil. The community will decide what approach it likes.


Bloggers; vote with your links.  Give backlinks back to the blogrolls that you want to continue.

Readers : use the blogrolls to access pages.  Many bloggers cast an occasional eye over the referral sources of their readers. 

For me, a blog roll's value is for those that are looking for new reading material, and possibly to make it easier for those less comfortable in maintaining their own RSS feeds.

As an open request to the maintainers of the blog rolls, please take an inclusive rather than exclusive approach.  Sugar Kyle has done a better job of putting together a list than anyone else I know.  Use her links to populate your current lists.  I will be updating mine *soon*.

For the record, as a reader, I use http://cloud.feedly.com .  I will give it a 'nearly as good as the (former) google reader'
