Blogiest links I could find #4

Link blogging about blogging. Because I like it.

1. Very sad news this week with the Alive in Baghdad blogger being found murdered in his home. Laurel Papworth has a superb post that provides further details and gives some personal perspective to the situation.
1. On Monday just past, it was the the ten year anniversary of when Jorn Barger coined the term “weblog”. He spoke to Wired Magazine and gives his Top 10 Tips for New Bloggers.
1. One of the ABC blogs, Dools Gold by comedian Scott Dooley, is the fourth most viewed page on the ABC web site.
   
   This is one of my fave blogs under the funny folder in my RSS reader. Admittedly, only Scott Adams’ The Dilbert Blog and Dools Gold have been subscribed to in that folder but it is still not surprising to me that it gets excellent traffic. I’m also certain ABC’s entertainment/gossip blog The Shallow End is one of the most popular pages on the ABC web site.
   
   It is encouraging to see that blogs are becoming popular at the national broadcaster. Because the flow on effect for the rest of the Aussosphere is that people uncertain with what blogs are will experience them at the ABC then maybe look into reading other blogs and might even consider blogging themselves.
1. Best. Spam. Comment. Ever.
1. Search engines have been releasing their annual search trends in the last week or so but now BuzzLogic has announced their list of the hottest topics in the blogosphere this year.
