Blog-to-Show - Share & Listen

Originally uploaded by lilpointyhat

In one of his last posts, Drew McLellan pointed to our attention Liz Strauss' initiative to feature on her Successful and Outstanding Blog(gers) blog an open list of interesting blogs to discover. Here is where her idea comes from :

At Open Comment Night last night, we talked about Creative Networking. Lots of great ideas were gathered, and that conversation got me thinking about more of them. Two years ago, we had a weekend showcase for blogs. I thought it might be fun to try it again.

So this weekend is a Successful-Blog Blog-to Show. It’s a Virtual Auto Show for Blogs. Detail your blog. Polish the trim and come show it off. We’ll line them up, look them over, and get to know each other and our blogs just that much better."

  

So, for those of you looking for inspiration or to find new blogs, I recommend to check the list Liz is SHARING with us. It is linking to very nice content AND very nice bloggers, 260 actually! Why should you check them out? Well, they all have one thing in common... they were LISTENING and heard Liz's call. Two interesting gem keywords when it comes to blogging. And if you are one member of the list and came here to visit this blog... welcome to mindblob! Please feel free to leave a little message. A very nice way to both honor Liz's idea and create new connections. : )

[Cathryn Hrudicka]

Luc,

Thanks for including my two business blogs in your list of Liz Strauss's Blog-to-Show featured blogs. It is an honor to be included on this distinguished list, and I look forward to discovering new blogs that I hadn't read before. Liz is the master at listening, sharing, including and building community.

[Davina]

Hi Luc. I spent a lot of time with this list over the weekend. My boyfriend is clearly a good sport!

I have just posted some of my reflections about this experience on my blog.

Check it out if you have time.

Cheers.

[Luc Debaisieux - mindblob]

Cathryn,
Thank you for your comment. You're right... Liz is also including us into a wave of community building.

Davina,
Welcome to this blog and thank you for coming. I will definitely check your blog out!

[lionel (acid42)]

Thanks for Sharing and Listening as well! Being a part of the list is a lovely treat. More power to your writing!

[Dr. Delaney Kirk]

Thanks for passing this list on! I'm looking forward to checking out the other blogs, especially those on education. And thanks to Liz for all her hard work on organizing this!

[Mona]

Yay! I made another list ;o)

[Carla]

Thanks for the link love for my blog, Vintage Holiday Crafts.

An unexpected benefit of responding to Liz's call was that other bloggers have republished the list. It's been a great way for me to get to know other blogs -- including some that weren't even on the list. :-)

[Barbara Rozgonyi]

Love the name of your blog! Thanks for the link - good to know about you.
Liz challenged us to communicate what we're all about, something that's we're often reluctant to do - unless we're asked.

[Andrew]

Hi,

I really loved your content. Thanks a tonne for sharing this useful information and hope to read more from you. :)

[Luc Debaisieux - mindblob]

Thank you all for passing by. This space is your space, I'm discovering very nice blogs via the list too.

- lionel (acid42) : You're welcome. A real pleasure indeed.

- Barbara : Thank you! Glad you like it. : )

- Andrew : Merci! We're trying to keep the conversation going on and feed the blob, right!
