Comments on: Anyone know of a good weekly discussion community for the Web 2.0 tech world? http://www.metafluence.com/anyone-know-of-a-good-weekly-discussion-community-for-the-web-20-tech-world/ This is beyond marketing, it is manipulation Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:47:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Justin http://www.metafluence.com/anyone-know-of-a-good-weekly-discussion-community-for-the-web-20-tech-world/#comment-16229 Justin Thu, 16 Aug 2007 14:44:58 +0000 http://www.metafluence.com/anyone-know-of-a-good-weekly-discussion-community-for-the-web-20-tech-world#comment-16229 <strong>Ryan</strong>, I'm putting out my first topic for the blog carnival this Monday (the 20th) for people to respond to by this Wednesday (the 22nd). I'll drop you an email with a link to the topic if that's cool.

Personal finance bloggers have been using these for years. They're great for a growing segment of bloggers looking to aggregate content and boost traffic (in addition to getting to know who's who). But, for larger segments such as web 2.0/tech it's probably more difficult to identify a good niche (but that's probably where a pdxwi, or geographically based, group comes in handy). Interested to see what you come up with. The carnival concept popped in my head too. Personal finance bloggers have been using these for years.

I looked into a <a href="http://www.blogcarnival.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;" rel="nofollow">blog carnival directory</a> under the technology category and I only found 2 <em>active</em> carnivals relevant to my area of interest. I'm going to see if I can participate in them, but neither is really structured the way I'm looking for. So, I'm currently buying a domain name and will be setting up such a site. I'm leaving for vacation on Friday for 10 days, which means I likely won't complete the project until I return. Perhaps I could use a default theme on a WordPress blog to get things started...stay tuned. Looks like there is a blogging concept known as a Blog Carnival (thanks, Marshall!).

Will save aggrevation down the road. Play nice, play smart. And you're a great moderator. Yep, initiate with standards of conduct. Will save aggrevation down the road. Play nice, play smart.

I think it would require some moderation. Maybe it would just be a matter of requiring registration and if someone's posts feel spammy, then I could cut off their registration.

Perhaps you should start one? A long-planned feature of PDXWI is a place to aggregate member blog posts that are about Web stuff or would be of interest to other members. Even if we had this feature, it doesn't sound quite the same. Your Dad's groups have a topic and each write about that particular thing, right? So, the topic might be "Ajax and Accessibility," and everyone would leave a comment with their post? (You're right--it does seem ripe for spam picking).
