That’s the headline I’m anticipating to be on the front page of Technorati, just any day now. I’ll give you the short version of what I know, and instructions for joining, then the next post will be the actual pics.
Okay, there’s this chap named Tino (coincidence? I think NOT.) who I ran into when I got lost over at MyBlogLog, which I frequently do.
Okay, daily. I get lost over at MyBlogLog on a daily basis. I admit it. You happy?
Anyway, Tino runs Trade Pals, and on January 14th decided that it would be a super idea to link to 2000 Bloggers. Smart, simple, and viral like a fox.
In that post, now with 944 comments, Tino is still inviting bloggers to join. The criteria? A comment in the thread with the link to your blog and a picture of your face in your sidebar. When I was added this weekend, (fairly quickly I might add) there were only 700+ comments, soI’d get cracking if I were you, buddy.
It’s inspiring all kinds of other projects too. There’s a blogger who wants to use the collage as a book cover, one who’s using it as part of a social experiment, buttons, badges,, a mini-collage, and a community at MyBlogLog.
Click here to see the full map. I’m going to put the last version I saw in the next post, because apparently, when someone puts the map on their blog, people are clicking on the faces to visit the bloggers. The pics are all on photobucket so I think this is cool, and I’ve seen other people do it. I’d rather not bug Tino until the project is over, so if you hear that it’s not cool, please let me know with a comment.
I’m finding the project fun and a great networking experience as well – I’ve run into quite a few good blogs I may not have run into otherwise. I am also fascinated by the question the social experiment is bringing up, such as what makes you click on a face. In a moment, you’ll be able to play that game too.
Back in a sec.
