why do you blog?

It is 9:45 in the evening. I got up sixteen hours ago. I needed to hop in the shower before my daughter had her turn. Then, I was off to a 7 AM meeting about local politics, a 9 AM meeting with a person searching for a new job, and then home to do some reading, some writing and some technology work.

In my readings today, I found the question that Jock Gill asks, http://www.greaterdemocracy.org/archives/000232.html >“why do you blog?”

FOAF

Today, I received an email that Tribe.net is now supporting FOAF.

I added it to PLINK, and now my PLINK listing only has my first name.

So, now, I have three good FOAF files:
Ecademy
Tribe.net
LiveJournal

The three FOAF browsers I've been playing with most these days are:
PLINK
FoaF Explorer
foafnaut(no listing there, yet)
FOAF: Web View

Random Links

As I dig through my emails and messages of the day, I am finding a few interesting things.

I received an email from Intelliseek. They have two interesting sites. http://campaignradar.com provides an interesting snapshot of what is being discussed in the blogosphere with regards to the upcoming election.

If you go to http://www.blogpulse.com/index.html, you can do your own searches on the blogosphere. It looks like a nice tool.

In blogland, my article Herding free-range cats is on CivicSpace.

New York Times Magazine

Well, my blogging at Greater Democracy makes the New York Times Magazine, sort of.

I am the greybeard sitting behind and to the left of Markos Moulitsas. However, my name, nor Greater Democracy, isn't mentioned in the article.
