collaboration blog

my favorite theme while browsing are writing, blogs, and travelling. as usual, if i want to have any information about those things, i use google as my search engine. one day, while i use this google, there were occured some sources, most of it were blog links. the interesting part is, these blogs is collaboration blog. thus, there are more than one contributor for these kind of blog.

for example, on travelling theme, there are BraveNewTraveler, gadling, travelblogs, etc. contributors of these blog are registered. there are selected writer. beside that, these writer, have their own travelingblog.

other example is about writing. there were also some blog based on collaboration for this theme. dailywritingtips, thegoldenpencil, copyblogger, are just few of them.

this kind of blogs is really helpful. really helpful for people to find information and really helpful for the writer to build their networks.

so, what about in indonesia?

reminds me if i am wrong. as far as i can see, it is very rare to find this kind of collaboration blog. some blog join in community and have their own blog aggregator is more familiar in indonesia. this thing good for building network. but not in adding extensive knowledge. but it doesnot mean that there were no such collaboration blog. indobackpacker and ilmukomputer are some of them.

or maybe i am wrong? but one thing for sure, i have dream to build such kind of blog!

indonesianis on blog

today post is about blog. blogwalking for me is something fun. every person behind their blog has unique background. this is what make blog world were colorful.

when i am on blogwalking, entering one community, my exploration hardly to stop. my curiosity tempted me to click other blogs that connected through that blog. one of the community i figure out is indonesianis. i am not talking that they were very expert on indonesia. it just, in my honest opinion, they have great knowledge upon indonesia. and the most important thing is, they make their knowledge accessible for everyone.

everytime i read their blog, its successfully touch me. its touch me because i am not thankful and not aware enough about my own country condition. its touch me because my knowledge about this country, the place where i born, is not better than theirs. its touch me because the way they talk about indonesia is so enjoyable to read.

there are some blogger that i entered their blog to my rss reader. i read javajive which focus on java and other great place in indonesia. i read jakartass which from there you will get connected to various blog with various perspective. an ordinary perspective for us, but they making it become extraordinary.

beside that, there were baliblog that focus on bali. the content of that blog is far more better than the provincial government or culture and tourism department describe about bali.

and what impress me most is their writing ability is just like part of habit. the sentence is just like talk to me directly.
