catching up | Irish Bloggers
Caught up with some bloggers (Darragh, Sinéad C – who seemed genuinely distraught by boyish face – and Laura) over the weekend – but managed to miss The Spanish Exposition’s look at the Irish Blogosphere until today. Rosie’s post hits on/near something, I think, that needed to be said – and some of the comments make for interesting reading.
There used to be a time when all Irish bloggers could fit around three tables in the Market Bar. The Irish blogging community is larger now and I doubt that most know who blog in various niches now. – Bernie Goldbach. (BG’s site)
As for the blogosphere itself this is an interesting post. I wrote something vaguely similar a couple of years ago. As the scene matures it’ll will splinter, that’s normal. – Twenty Major. (Twenty’s site)
Others have takes on it too: Le Craic, Alexia, Darragh, Colm, Jazz Biscuit – and more…
Update: Rick O’S has an interesting post take on things too…
And in other news:
> Sinéad G is leaving the Sigla blog – the best Arts and Culture blog, three years running.
> The Dublin Writers Festival Blog has some reviews – Esther Freud, Tom Stoppard and the Irish Values Debate.
> Rob got a haircut. (In case you missed it, this is an all inclusive Irish bloggers post)
> Rapture Ponies is excited. Really excited. You will be too, when you see the trailer for the new Coen Brothers movie.
> The Sunday Tribune website has gotten a clean up. (It looks very like Independent.ie)
> And, not Irish, not even a little, but well worth reading. Sigmund Freud vs The Male Nurse.

thanks, David. am now faced with the daunting task of replying to the comments and rolling with the punches.
what’s there to not be excited about!?
I’m going to have to take you less seriously now
@Rosie – All will be grand – and some of it needed to be said (although, I really enjoyed the Blog Awards this year, and last)
@RP – EXACTLY!
@Sinéad – You took me seriously before??
