Giant Panda and Eurosphere

Does the Giant Panda exist? It may be a conservation reliant endangered species, but few would doubt its existence.

How about the Eurosphere, aka European public sphere, or a small part of it, the Euroblogs?

Euroblogs exist: Bloggingportal.eu aggregates 487 of them.



Joe Litobarski does not doubt that there are Euroblogs, he just asks Where is the European Blogosphere? (26 November 2009). A key phrase from the discussion is "Can we look beyond our national audience?”.

The Giant Panda needs conservation, the Euroblogs conversation. Both exist, but we need more of them.

P.S. Do you find EUSSR myths fascinating? Are we EU citizens worth a better European Union? Educate yourself; there are already 487 Euroblogs aggregated on multilingual Bloggingportal.eu. On most of the blogs you can comment and discuss our common European future.

Euroblogging: Expanding Bloggingportal.eu

Two months have gone since I wrote about the launch of the Euroblog aggregator Bloggingportal.eu.

During this time, checking Bloggingportal.eu has become a daily habit for me, a handy way to scan about a hundred daily posts and to read the ones I find interesting (and have time for). I can also check the preferences highlighted by the editors.

I now have the latest post headlines appearing visibly on my own blog.

In two months the multilingual Bloggingportal.eu has expanded by almost 19 per cent, by 53 blogs (from 281 to 334).


Act now!

There is still room for expansion, I think. Bloggers can submit their own blog on European affairs or they can suggest a suitable blog for inclusion. Please, do.

The initiators and editors of Bloggingportal.eu are doing a great job in creating the European public space.
