Blogger Challange by Intel

Here is a potentially insightful project. Intel Launched a Blogger Challenge providing laptop machines to 6 rising stars in the blogosphere. In return for these machines, the participating bloggers agreed to contribute to a group blog over the course of 5 weeks sharing their honest opinions and responses to a series of questions about blogging, the blogosphere and technology. The aim of this blog is meant to stimulate discussions and bring bloggers together regardless of their “categories.”

The bloggers have hit Week 2 now and the content is very interesting. Reason for this is also the fact this project is run by such a diverse choice of bloggers - the participants are:

• The City Blogger - Jen Chung from The Gothamist
• The Gadget Blogger - Mia Kim from Popgadget
• The Video Blogger - Bre Pettis from Make Magazine
• The Mommy Blogger - Mindy Roberts from The Mommy Blogger
• The Tech Blogger - Paul Stamatiou from Paul Stamatiou
• The Food Blogger - Pim Techamuanvivit from Chezpim

During the first week, the participants were asked why they blog and what they have accomplished through blogging. The question asked in the second week questioned the participants what kind of advice they would you give to others considering starting a blog, and to bloggers who want to make the most out of their blogs?

It sure makes for an interesting read and I’ll post some of my favourite quotes when the project has been completed.
