The Tangled Bank
Today I came across a new (to me) blogging concept called "carnivals." The concept is pretty straight forward: bloggers submit what they feel are their best posts to one individual who aggregates the posts, comments on them, and then publishes it. This happens once a week and each week a new blog is the "host," that is to say that each week a different blogger publishes the carnival on his or her own blog.
The one I came across is called The Tangled Bank (around since April '04) and it's focused on writing related to science, nature, and medicine. It's a wonderful concept because it introduces readers to the best of the thousands of science blogs out there, plus you discover a potentially new blog each week as the hosts rotate. Naturally, I'm thinking about submitting in the future and maybe even hosting one day. So, if you like a particular post leave a comment and let me know!
