BlogDay Blog-Tag: A Game to Celebrate BlogDay3

Back in December 2006 I started a game of ”Blog-Tag” which thousands of bloggers took part of and in fact some are still playing. With BlogDay3 taking place on August 31st, I thought now would be a great time to launch a variation of the Blog-Tag game in honor of Blog Day.

For those of you not familiar with BlogDay, “BlogDay was created by Nir Ofir in 2005 with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries, cultures and areas of interest.”

So, in the spirit of BlogDay, I am asking bloggers to recommend five blogs, preferably Blogs that are different from their own culture, point of view and attitude. The goal of this version of blog-tag is for the readers of our blog posts to find themselves leaping around and discovering new voices and Blogs to explore. This in turn will help celebrate the discovery process of finding new people, their voices and their blogs.

When creating your BlogDay blog entry, please try to follow these instructions:

1. List five Blogs that you find interesting and if you can tell, include the city/country where they are from.
2. Identify five Bloggers to tag to join in this game with you. I recommend emailing the bloggers you tag to give them a heads up of you tagging them.
3. Use the tag: BlogDay2007 in your blog post.
4. (Optionally): Contact the owners of the blogs you shared as your "blogs to take a look at."

---

These are five blogs that I recommend readers of my blog to take a look at: (These are friends of mine from twitter, and for some readers of my blog, they are not “unknown” but they do represent a geographic diversity.)

1. Bronwen Clune - Perth, Australia
2. Jim Long - Washington, D.C.
3. Kfir Pravda - Ra'anana, Israel
4. Becky McCray - Alva, Oklahoma
5. Phil Campbell - Midlands, UK

And I’m now tagging the following people and asking them to join in this game of BlogDay Blog-Tag:Chris Brogan, Liz Strauss, Stowe Boyd, Robert Scoble and Alec Saunders

---
Note: You don’t have to wait for someone else to tag you if you would like to play along. By all means go ahead and start your own BlogDay Blog-Tag meme.

Becky is an excellent read. She always posts something interesting to read and talk about.

Great list, Jeff!
