Caught up with some bloggers (Darragh, Sinéad C - who seemed genuinely distraught by boyish face - and Laura) over the weekend - but managed to miss The Spanish Exposition’s look at the Irish Blogosphere until today. Rosie’s post hits on/near something, I think, that needed to be said - and some of the comments make for interesting reading.
There used to be a time when all Irish bloggers could fit around three tables in the Market Bar. The Irish blogging community is larger now and I doubt that most know who blog in various niches now. - Bernie Goldbach. (BG’s site)
As for the blogosphere itself this is an interesting post. I wrote something vaguely similar a couple of years ago. As the scene matures it’ll will splinter, that’s normal. - Twenty Major. (Twenty’s site)
Others have takes on it too: Le Craic, Alexia, Darragh, Colm, Jazz Biscuit - and more…
Update: Rick O’S has an interesting post take on things too…
And in other news:
> HAPPY BLOOMSDAY!
> Sinéad G is leaving the Sigla blog - the best Arts and Culture blog, three years running.
> The Dublin Writers Festival Blog has some reviews - Esther Freud, Tom Stoppard and the Irish Values Debate.
> Rob got a haircut. (In case you missed it, this is an all inclusive Irish bloggers post)
> Rapture Ponies is excited. Really excited. You will be too, when you see the trailer for the new Coen Brothers movie.
> The Sunday Tribune website has gotten a clean up. (It looks very like Independent.ie)
> And, not Irish, not even a little, but well worth reading. Sigmund Freud vs The Male Nurse.
