BlogTree.com projektet er et eksempel på de mange forsøg der er på community building. Her i form af blog genealogi:
BlogTree.com is a web site that maintains a database of blog relationships and allows you to browse blogs' pedigree. You can register your blog(s) and note which blogs inspired them (their parents). You can then notify the parent blog's author, as well as authors of any blogs that you think your blog inspired, about BlogTree.com and encourage them to register their blogs and note their parent blogs. As more and more blog authors participate, unrelated families of blogs will find common ancestors or descendants.
Her kan man til gengæld få de 'ægte' danske sorteret fra...

Picosearch - en gratis, hosted søgemaskine. Den er nu installeret på siden her i højre spalte, men jeg har nogle vanskeligheder med at finde ud af at få den til at søge på selve siden.....
Sjovt nok fandt jeg tilbage til 'Bredgade 40' bloggen, da jeg undersøgte, hvem der hoster Picosearch (Gotzeblogge)- sådan går blogs sommetider i ring...
John Gøtze's OPML Directory Browser er temmelig interessant med mange link. F.eks. til en blog med blog terminology med sjove begreber som:

Blurker
1. noun. One who reads many blogs but leaves no evidence of themselves such as comments behind; a silent observer of blogs.
2. noun. One who reads many blogs but has no blog of their own; a blog-watcher or blog voyeur.
Usage: "But, Mikey, I can't have a blog of my own! I'm a blurker!"

Blogstipation
1. noun. To be unable to think of anything to blog about, i.e. writer's block for bloggers.
2. noun. To be unable to post an article on your blog because blogger.com is down yet again.
(meaning 2. coined by Jim Treacher)

Jim Treacher har en lignende, dog langt mindre omfattende blog.....

Interessant er også GeoURL ICBM Address Server en 'geografisk Google, hvor man kan søge (eller tilmelde sig) og via URL'en finde geografisk nære blogs. Copenhagen (154 blogs): sites near 55.68, 12.587, and within 500 miles - dette skal tages helt bogstaveligt, Hamborg ligger som bekendt jo 132 miles vest for Copenhagen, Gøteborg 141 miles nordpå, Utrecht ligger 419 miles SW og 492 miles SE er bloggen på polsk - så geografisk nærhed er en international størrelse i denne sammenhæng :)


Via 'John Gøtze's OPML Directory Browser' fandt jeg også en glimrende artikel af Scot Hacker om valg af blog type til undervisning. Perfekt med kravspecifikation og vurdering. Choosing a Blogging Package for Students
