Blogger gone mad?July 4th, 2005

Phew. Interesting site where someone is happy to link to the blog of a convicted paedophile, yet won’t link to any Live8 stories because they don’t believe in the campaign.

Now, I’m not suggesting that problems of debt, corruption and poverty in Africa are simple ones, or that there are any easy answers, but it strikes me as odd – for a supposed journalsitic blog looking at many aspects of blogigng – to censor a global phenomenon because of a personal belief, and yet give extra publicity to one (at best) tasteless, tainted blog.

Mad.

    U. S. is no. 1 in Aid to Africa – by a lot

    This report quotes a report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and The Hudson Institute saying that the U. S. private sector, overall, gives 15 times as much as the European Union and more than the U. S. government.

    Andy, you must be speaking of the Blog Herald…I noticed that too. Very odd. I do think Duncan means well, and for now I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he just didn’t think that one through.

    Hey, I saw your comment on ProBlogger and wanted to pass this info on for getting PageRank on the Mac…I’m a mac addict myself, both of these extensions are free, and they work like a dream:

    Just install the googlebar Mozilla extension from http://googlebar.mozdev.org/
    and then install the PR indicator extension from http://toolbar.nickstallman.net/

    Hope this helps : D
