Chuck Westbrook (Do you think he’s American?) has a great idea for getting good blogs noticed by people who want to notice them. It’s kind of like one of those pyramid selling schemes Lynne Faulds-Wood told us all to be careful of in the 80s, but it’s for blogs and it doesn’t want you to end up bankrupt.

Basically, check out Chuck’s idea over at his blog, where everyone will loyally read a neglected blog for two weeks. After the two weeks are up, another blog gets the spotlight. Nice idea, now fingers crossed they’re not all rubbish…

I’m pretty pleased this morning as I just found out I’m featured on the Johnson Banks Thought for the Week. Micheal Johnson posted recently about their open-ended Time project, where they invite viewer submissions. I thought they might be interested in my mobile phone photoblog as a visual record of time, so casually sent it in, not expecting to really hear anything back. Well, Michael replied to say thanks, and then this morning the photoblog was plastered all over their blog. Nice!

I’d better get on the phone to my web hosts and plead for some more bandwidth…

Oh, and talking of Time, the February issue of All The Rage featured a couple of my photos on the subject.

I just saw this over at Wired. It’s a great explanation of the complexities of the web, and how blogs work for the slightly less technical minded such as myself. It shows just how far your words can go and just how extensive the data machine behind the web really is. It’s presented in a nice way too.

I also checked out Matthew Hurst’s own site, where there are some lovely visualisations of the ‘blogosphere’ making the intangible tangible. Well, in an intangible kind of way…
