Blogger Discovery Day: Elect Five New Blogs For Others To Discover - BlogDay Is Here

Today is BlogDay, the day in which you can learn and discover new and truly valuable bloggers that you don't know about.

BlogDay was initiated with the belief that bloggers should have one day which will be dedicated to know other bloggers, from other countries or areas of interests different than your own.

Today, all participating bloggers (and anyone can indeed join in) will recommend five other bloggers o their sites.

"In one long moment today, bloggers from all over the world will post a recommendation of five new Blogs, preferably blogs different from their own culture, point of view and attitude."

 

 

BlogDay strives to open up the opportunity for the whole blogosphere and its readership to make a sudden leap forward, a conscious self-expansion that integrates and grows in one swift move new interconnections, information pathways, news sources and potential partners.

BlogDay is an initiative of Nir Ofir, Editor in Chief of an Israeli Portal: Tapuz.co.il. Nif is known for founding Israel's first commercial Weblog service and as the creator of the "BlogTV" service -Live Broadcasted web logs. You can read more about him right here.
