Annual Link Day
August 30th 2007 10:57
I’m reliably informed that the 31st August is the day for doing an annual link to other blogs for fun. I’ve done this on more than one occasion, since annually is a bit infrequent for me. Anyway, here are some blogs and sites that I picked up on recently while working on an article. They don’t all have the same theme by any means, and all of them are worth a visit.
First up is the Shrewdness of Apes site and one of the things I noted about this was that the blogger and her commenters play a movie quote game fairly regularly.
The second is a site that offers some arcane answers to questions as about the collective names for animals. (It was while I was writing an article on that topic that I came across this one.)
The third is similar in subject matter, but different in approach. And if you’ve never had a look at the collective names for animals, both of these offer some very unusual collective words.
The fourth is a social question and answer site, which for some reason has a jellyfish theme. A fluther of jellyfish is the correct collective noun, believe it or not.
And finally, a link to a New Zealand blog written by an English couple who emigrated with their nine-month old in 2005. And now they have twins as well. Great photos! And they
have lots of links to blogs written by other ex-pats.
Curiously, while looking for a blog at random I came up with Chris Brogan’s one. Chris is one of the two originator’s of the PodCamp idea - I’m attending one in Birmingham on Saturday.
I've just had a thought that some people might quibble at my list of five links, because they're not all links to blogs. Never mind, I've linked to blogs on other occasions without any other motive than to do it for fun, so they'll have to count!
