Collaborative blogging: Joining together

Most bloggers maintain their own blogs.



Whether the blog is a business blog, a political or legal blog, or a personal journal, the overwhelming majority are individual efforts.



That is one of the strengths of blogging. Many individual voices are utilizing their freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of expression.



A new phenomenon has been added to the blogging scene.



It's the collaborative or group blog.



There have always been team and group blogs, from the very beginnings of blogging. More joint efforts are being added to the blogsposhere on a daily basis.



Australian blogger Darren Rowse, of Living Room has added a group blog to his growing list of blogging achievements.



His latest effort is the Athens Olympic Games Blog.



Darren invites bloggers to:



We’re looking for a limited number of contributing bloggers from around the globe who would like to contribute. In return for keeping an eye on your own local online news sources and posting them to the blog you’ll get a link in the side bar and a link on each post you submit back to your own blog.



To participate in the Athens Olympic Games Blog, simply:



E-mail Darren with your details – ie name, blog to be linked to, your country (we want to encourage people to focus on their own country as much as possible so we can be representative) and any interest you have in particular events. We’re looking for people who will contribute at least one post every day or two.



Darren Rowse can be reached at the following address:

Whether you get involved with Darren's Athens Olympic Games Blog or not, there are a growing number of group blogs out there for you to join.



Get into the collaborative blogging experience today.



Along with your own blog, you can be part of a blogging team.
