More on the European Blogosphere wiki pages

Posted at 00:16 in Blogging about blogging, Europe | | 4 Comments | View blog reactions

I'd like to say first I started this page not because I was lazy (but Euan was joking I know that), but because there is nobody in Europe that can pretend to be able to present honestly the European blogosphere: do you read Italian, Portuguese, Danish, and the other 19 languages (I believe we have 22 on the 25 EU countries, plus the other ones like eastern...) ?

The best we can all do is help each other understand it better.

Please add your name to the main page if you contributed to this work otherwise it is difficult to know. Thank you Jacques, Nicole, Matthias, Neil, Euan, Thomas, Francesco, Julio, Fernando, Christophe, Justin, Frank, Stefan, Max, Marco, Hugo, Michael, Ton, Alex, Pedro, Björn, Janne and Jose, Paolo ! I have listed people who have identified themselves but I know many others like Tom actually helped.

I knew I did not know that much about the European blogosphere, and I learned a lot today about it, such as Nancy White, who has very good comments.

Doc said that I should play more with the new search options of Technorati because it works very well, so here I am playing with the European blogosphere watchlist and I must say it works terrific (it looks like it has missed your post however).

I was curious to follow how the page with the top european bloggers changed and of course I was very surprised to see Michael Hellemann showing up #1 with 8033 links from 7152 sources. I regret that I missed the opportunity of discussing this with him in Copenhagen so I tried to understand and it looks like the WP plugin he designed, Kubrick, got him out of the Technorati 100 where he peaked #8 in spring of 2005. This leads me to two questions: why has he been deleted from the list and should he be removed from this one too. I guess it probably creates artificial links, sorry for my ignorance. What do you think ? Michael ?

Last idea, I wonder if we should have all put this work on Wikipedia ? Clearly, the manual ranking by Technorati links of top european bloggers has nothing to do there for example, especially as it is out of date the minute you write a name. I would be interested in your thoughts as well. Thanks again.

Update: Florian has a podcast of my speech about the wiki and the European blogosphere.

Félicitations par l'initiative, à voir si le rêve de l'union européenne nous approche à tous ses citoyens un peu plus, au style d'Internet où on parle une langue universelle fondée l'entendement entre des citoyens de toute partie du Monde indépendamment de la couleur sa peau, de religion et de sexe.

Enhorabuena by the initiative, to see if the dream of the European union approaches all its citizens a little more, in the style of Internet where a universal language based on the understanding between citizens is spoken independently of any part of the World of the color of its skin, religion and sex.

Congratulations by the initiative, to see if the dream of the European union approaches all its citizens a little more, in the style of Internet where a universal language based on the understanding between citizens is spoken independently of any part of the World of the color of its skin, religion and sex.

Enhorabuena por la iniciativa, a ver si el sueño de la unión europea nos acerca a todos sus ciudadanos un poco más, al estilo de Internet donde se habla un idioma universal fundamentado en el entendimiento entre ciudadanos de cualquier parte del Mundo independientemente del color de su piel, religión y sexo.

Felicitações pela iniciativa, para ver se o sonho da união européia aproximar todos seus cidadãos pouco mais, no estilo do Internet onde uma língua universal baseada na compreensão entre cidadãos é falada independentemente de qualquer parte do mundo da cor de seus pele, religião e sexo.

Congratulazioni dall'iniziativa, vedere se il sogno dell'unione europea si avvicina a tutti i relativi cittadini poco di più, nello stile del Internet in cui una lingua universale basata sulla comprensione fra i cittadini è parlata indipendentemente da qualsiasi parte del mondo del colore della relativi pelle, religione e sesso.

Glückwünsche durch die Initiative, wenn der Traum des europäischen Anschlußes allen seinen Bürgern, die nähert wenig sich mehr, sind in die Art des Internets sehen, in dem eine Universalsprache, die auf dem Verständnis zwischen Bürgern basierte, unabhängig von irgendeinem Teil der Welt der Farbe von seiner Haut, von Religion und von Geschlecht gesprochen wurde.

Συγχαρητήρια από την πρωτοβουλία, για να δει εάν το όνειρο της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης πλησιάζει όλους τους πολίτες του λίγο περισσότερο, στο ύφος Διαδικτύου όπου ένα καθολικό βασισμένο στη γλώσσα στην κατανόηση μεταξύ των πολιτών μιλιέται ανεξάρτητα από οποιοδήποτε μέρος του κόσμου του χρώματος του δέρματος, της θρησκείας και του φύλου του.

Gelukwensen door het initiatief, om te zien of benadert de droom van de Europese Unie al zijn burgers een weinig meer, in de stijl van Internet waar een universele taal die op het begrip tussen burgers wordt gebaseerd onafhankelijk van om het even welk deel van de Wereld van de kleur van zijn huid, godsdienst en geslacht wordt gesproken.

Поздравление инициативой, увидеть если сновидение европейского соединения причаливает всем своим гражданам немного больше, то, в типе интернета где всеобщий язык основанный на вникании между гражданами поговорен независимо любой части мира цвета своих кожи, вероисповедания и секса.

Enhorabona per la iniciativa, a veure si el somni de la unió europea ens apropa a tots els seus ciutadans un poc més, a l'estil d'Internet on es parla un idioma universal fonamentat en l'enteniment entre ciutadans de qualsevol part del Món independentment del color de la seva pell, religió i sexe.

Noraboa pola iniciativa, a ver se o soño da unión europea achéganos a tódolos seus cidadáns un pouco máis, ó estilo de Internet onde se fala un idioma universal fundamentado no entendemento entre cidadáns de calquera parte do Mundo independentemente do cor do seu pel, relixión e sexo.

Congratulations on a worthwhile project. I suggest an additional category: anglophone expats. There are many very good blogs in English from countries where the language is other than English. For example, one of my favorites is A Fistful of Euros (in your TrackBacks above). There are some less well known sites that I believe are worthy of recognition, such as "Ming the Mechanic" (http://www.ming.tv) by Flemming Funch who posts from somewhere near Toulouse.

Two years ago, I started a blog on TypePad, thinking it would be a one-month experiment so that I could learn about blogging. I haven't posted anything new in 18 months, but the site remains online. Even though nothing new has been posted, I still frequently receive email from readers encouraging me to write more.

After reading about your project on the European Blogosphere, I am telling myself to get busy and put something new on my blog.

About

Welcome to my blog. Based in San Francisco, I am an entrepreneur and a blogger. I just started my fifth startup, Seesmic, a community driven video social software. Here is what TechCrunch says about it.

I am blogging every day a video on loic.tv about (almost) everything I do as I start Seesmic, I also constantly post short thoughts to twitter and often my pictures on Flickr.

I also organize every year in Paris the conference LeWeb3 that gathers more than a thousand bloggers and entrepreneurs from 40 countries on Dec 11 and 12.

If you would like to learn more, here is a bio, my LinkedIn profile, my wikipedia pages in english and french. Sometimes they are subject to changes that do not always reflect what I consider the truth but that is the principle.

You may also want to subscribe to my RSS feeds in English, French or my video podcast feed.
