Influential Blogger recently announced the 2008 edition of their Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs group writing project. Which new blogs do you think will hold the most sway in 2008?
Originally posted at the beginning of June, I’m putting this announcement out again as a reminder because the deadline was extended.
Theme
Emerging Influential Blogs
In Janette’s words: “support… a worthy purpose of spotting and promoting new blogs that are making great waves out there.”
Rules
- Only one entry per blogger, and you’re only eligible if your blog has an updated profile/about page providing contact information (they’re trying to weed out slogs).
- Blog a list of new blogs (maximum 10) that you think are going to have influence in the blogosphere in 2008, where a new blog is one that was created from scratch after July 1st, 2007 and not one that changed domains or that removed their archives to fit that cut-off date.
- Your list post must contain a link back to the announcement post.
- To submit your entry, leave a comment on the announcement post with your list’s permalink. If you change your list before the deadline but after having submitted your entry, leave another comment to announce the update.
Prizes
10 randomly-chosen group writing project participants will win US$100. There will also be a prize for the 3 bloggers who most promoted this group writing project on Digg, del.icio.us and StumbleUpon.
Submission Deadline
Saturday July 30th, 2008, 5pm Australian Central Standard Time (GMT +9:30) ( check your local time)
Results
August 1st, 2008
Submission ended on 2008-07-30
