Yesterday Chuck and I went to see the new directorial release of Donnie Darko at the ArcLight, before the film started Chuck mentioned that him and the guy from clublife we're considering a "group blog", consisting of all the top blogs.
My guess is they we're both just half serious, but I started thinking about the idea more and more, and I think they are onto something.
But, instead of making the top bloggers write on two separate pages [which I don't think would last very long...], I had the idea of "one stop blogging", to explain:
In Blogger's setup you can automatically email your post to an account [it's supposed to be intended for fan-mail, but...]. And recently they added a new feature where you can write your post via email, and email it into your blog [I don't get this feature, since anywhere you can log onto your email account, you can just as easily log onto your blogger account]. But anyways, how do these two things tie into my idea...
First I would make a new Blogger account [example: group_blogging.blogspot.com], then I would use the "mail-to" option to have the site automatically publish any emails sent to "group_blogging.test@blogger.com". Step two would be; all the top bloggers would go in their settings, and enter the above email address in their "mail-post-to" options. And that's it.
Everyone would simply write in their blog just like normal, and their post would bounce off the email account into the "group_blogging" site. What good would this do? People could go to one place to read their top five favorite blogs, and while they we're there, stumble onto five other bloggers that they start to enjoy.
Billy and Amanda weren't crazy about the idea, but I'm looking for outside opinions.
