End of the Band

I wrote an article for UpDir.org about the blogging death of Sweden, a couple of reporters claim that blogging is dead and we prove them wrong.

 A few newspapers has begun to talk about the death of the blogs. Since there is no real interest, they claim, there is no need for blogs and that will eventually stop people from writing. Lots of swedish journalists had blogs and then suddenly stopped blogging, all of them. They just decided one day to stop blogging. Claiming that blogging was dead. A few of them claimed that blogs made people abuse each other in comments and by mail, since it was so easy to stay anonymus.

A new swedish blog search engine.

It is powered by Google and the quality of the results is of Google standards. So far it is only available in sweden for swedish bloggers but as I have understood they are preparing to launch world wide. In combination with the powerful Google engine this blog search engine really manages to pull it off. They have indexed most of the swedish blogs as far as I understand and it is like anything else related to Google - Free to use.

Take a look at it and even if you don’t understand swedish or think you can find anything useful at least learn from it. They have managed to make all the swedish blogs, and only the swedish blogs, show up in the search results.
