Domino Community Blogging Site
Well Ed had a really good idea. It was born of the fact that many blogs cease to exist over time, and to find good Domino info, you have to search various blogs that may or may not be updated regularly. As such, he thought that a community site that works like Kiro5hin.org might work well. I think this is a great idea and to me would be kinda like SlashDot in a way as well. You take a bunch of different folks with posting rights and give them the ability to update one site that everyone can go to for the latest in Lotus/IBM Community postings.
While I think this is a great idea and I would LOVE to contribute, I really hope that many of the personal bloggers out there keep their sites going in spite of this. The reason I blog is that I have more to talk about than just Lotus stuff. Gadgets, Digital Photography, Macromedia development, family and more are all things I want to share. I read guys like Volker for his wide range of tech ideals, John Head for gaming info, jonvon for his interesting chat logs, Duff for his book reviews, Carl for all things IM… and so many more. I love what I read and I really feel part of a community of like-minded folks. I think this is what makes blogging great, and I hope we don’t lose something like that…

I’m not against the individual voices. But I think there are a lot of individuals who have something to say, and would like to do so without having to blog full time.

I completely agree Ed, I just don’t want some people to think that they need to quit their personal blogs if a community site starts. I could see some people going “Well I write about Domino mostly, I should just quit my blog and write for the community site.”
I like to see individual perspectives on things other than Domino too, I just want everyone to know they are valued
And dammit Ed, get an RSS feed on that Lotus blog of yours
Take Care,
John
