How many British blogs can you name?
How many British blogs can you name? Well if you have only been reading the UK papers and magazines recently not many. It seems that everyone has an opinion on blogging. In fact this week alone there have been features in The Sunday Telegraph, New Media Age and PR Week. The odd thing is that the articles hardly reference any UK blogs at all.
It is all very interesting pontificating on how blogs might kill the PR industry, prove enormously beneficial to cutting edge companies and re-define newspapers. But to share your views without mentioning a single UK blog as a case study seems very lame.
So how many British blogs can you name? It seems that most journalists are only aware of the ones in The Guardian, Telegraph and Times. The British blogosphere may be under nourished compared to its US and even European counterparts, but there are still some wonderful blogs and bloggers out there, some of whom, for example Treonauts , Blue Fish and This French Life are starting to make a lot more than pocket money out of their endeavours.
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for the heads up on Blue Fish. Things are definitley happening, we're distinctly international but with some interesting UK bloggers on board. Not sure that I'm making much more than pocket money at the moment (I have large pockets...) but definitely on an upward trend.

No, because you didn't hyperlink to them (and get your comment marked as spam)

Does La Petite Anglaise count? (www.petiteanglaise.com) - she's been in and out of the media quite a bit lately and she's a UK blogger.
