The New York Times ran a good article about this cool blog project: Bless Me, Blog, for I've Sinned.
One online confessional, though, breaks the mold. At PostSecret, found at postsecret.blogspot.com, the confessions are consistently engaging, original and well told. How come? The Web site gives people simple instructions. Mail your secret anonymously on one side of a 4-by-6-inch postcard that you make yourself. That one constraint is a great sieve. It strains out lazy, impulsive confessors.
Postsecret is worth a look.

You thought it was a hoax but it's the real deal... the KRON4-TV Bay Area Blogger Meet-Up. There's now a tile on the front page at http://www.kron.com with a link to the evite you received. In addition, if you call the KRON4 switchboard at 415-441-4444 and ask for the Bay Area Blogger Meet-Up hotline, you will hear my greeting and get the chance to RSVP for the event.

We are very excited about this opportunity to listen to the Bay Area blogger community about ways we can be a part of this personal media revolution. We hope to develop ways to produce great content for both blog readers and television viewers.
Please invite all Bay Area bloggers to the Meetup on Saturday, June 11th, at 12:00Noon at the KRON4 Studios at 1001 Van Ness in San Francisco....
And please update your blog so everyone knows it's not a hoax.
Here's the invitation.


C'est bon!

This is really cool. Jennifer Garrett, who writes for the the college alumnae magazine, Wellesley has the cover story this issue with "The Incredibly True Adventures of a Wellesley Blogger." I don't think Wellesley publishes the articles online ordinarily—maybe in this case they will make an exception? The cover art is great!

It just so happens that we have agents in the field right now. Jason Goldman, Blogger Product Manager is on a trip to New Zealand using his camera phone to send photos and captions to mobiletoe.blogspot.com. Chris Wetherell, Blogger UI Engineer is touring with his band in Europe and documenting the experience at photable.blogspot.com. (Yes, one of our engineers is also a rock star.) I'm going to tell them to switch their posts to publish to this blog. Why? Because we can!

Also, it's important to note that Blogger Mobile is the first-ever Blogger feature that ships with it's own jingle. Grant Shellen whipped it up for us.


The comic strip art on go.blogger.com is by Phil Pascuzzo, he does lots of neat illustration and design stuff. With the jingle and the comic-style illustration Blogger Mobile is an all together highly professional endeavor.
