Rough Survey of Greater Blogistan

Christian Crumlish

I am a johnny-come-lately when it comes to using "Blogistan" as part of a web site's monicker so I feel guilty and glad when people like dave winer and dylan tweney add me to their blogrolls as just Blogistan, but it does appear that Google now thinks this site is the second most likely place people are looking for when they search for blogistan.

Number one is still Insolvent Republic of Blogistan. What a great name! We are broadcasting Voice of the Internet into your insolvent republic, brethren and sistren! (Last updated July 19.)

Then after RFB comes another predecessor, a. beam of light in blogistan. Great new entry today.

Page two, after some prominent discussions of the term or conceptual space, comes moose and squirrel in Blogistan.

This one also sounds early, by the domain name at least: Distributed Republic of Blogistan.

RFB hax0red: Having a nice day mostly off-line, thinking about maybe uploading some more cloud pictures or posting something about David Brooks mentioning Salam Pax's blog on the McLehrer report on Friday, when I check my mail and see that Scott Rosenberg and my cousin, A.P. Crumlish, both tipping me off to... (Salon Bloggers)

Reverse Cowgirl rides off into the sunset.: The Merry Pranksters had a slogan, or actually, they had several slogans, but the one I'm thinking of right now is "Nothing lasts." I'm a great believer in lifecycles. Just about everything on this planet - even phenomena - gets born, lives, and then dies. Blogs are no excepts. Some weblogs... (Blogosphere)
Upstreaming theory: OK, I think the reason why my Mediajunkie page hasn't been upstreaming is that my year-long Radio license must have expired. What I'd like to know is why I wasn't automatically invited to renew it when the time was up? Doesn't UserLand want my money? Anyway, I did just re-up for... (Products)
AOL Journals found wanting: Salon blogger Rayne Today has been trying out the AOL Journals feature and has some criticisms to share. UPDATE: Rayne Today has also posted further comments about problems with AOL's approach to blogs (The Clone War Quagmire and earlier entries).... (Products)
