August 31st.  Let's spread this meme and make it global ! [link via Global Voices Online] 

It's interesting to note the origin - it's from an Israeli blogger Nir Ofir, who encourages us to recommend 5 new blogs on August 31st.  What a wonderful thought !  His vision is articulated here - an excerpt follows. 

"I know, it looks like I am some kind of megalomaniac, but the truth is that I'm coming from a very humble point of view: I believe that we bloggers have to have one day in the year which will be dedicated to know other bloggers, from other countries or areas of interests. I think, that not only that we need to know other bloggers; we need also to recommend about them to our Blog visitors.

When I'm trying to see the end in mind, in this is day every blogger will post a recommendation of 5 new blogs (in the same time). In this day all Blog web surfers will find themselves leaping and discovering new, unknown blogs.

Isn't it a celebration?"

As I was publishing my last post, the noises in my head again started  - about how one straddles posting across several blogs.  I have my own space here, I also write occasionally for Worldchanging, SkypeJournal, Global Knowledge Review and Tsunamihelp.  While what I write for each of them is probably different, I always want to publish the same posts at this blog.  And often I wonder whether I am being fair.

Am wondering what others who write for multiple blogs feel about this, and do?
