Some blogging about blogging
Lately there has been quite a lot of talk about blogs being "so last year" in several
different places around the Internet. However, this is not the case in Finland. In
IRC-Galleria, the most active social
networking site in the Nordic countries, blogging has grown significantly during the last six
months. Currently the users of the site post on their blogs over a million times in total every
month!
In the beginning of summer 2008 a new feature was introduced in
IRC-Galleria: now the users can tag their
blog entries to be a part of one of the over half a million communities on the site. While this may
sound like a rather simple thing, it is in fact quite revolutionary. In the long run, the blog
tagging feature will make every community on the site an information resource created by the users.
And since there's a community regarding practically every subject you can imagine, this is
something that really doesn't exist in any other social networking site.
Top 5 subjects during the first month of blog tagging:
1. Midsummer
2. Love
3. Festivals
4. The European Soccer Championship
5. Humour
