There's a blog created every second, Culture Vulture learned today. So, with an incredible 80,000 new weblogs popping up every day, how do you sort the wheat from the chaff? How, in fact, do you sort them at all?
Britlitblogs, which arrived online last month may have the answer. It's a great example of the use of an aggregator site to showcase blog posts from a number of different blogs - in this case, six excellent British litblogs: 3:am, Ready Steady Book, Book World, Scarecrow, This Space and Splinters.
The technology is, apparently, quite simple. Each blog's respective RSS feed is fed into a web template which displays the latest posts from each of the blogs.
The result is a page of posts that skips happily along the literary highway from Julian Barnes to graphic novels, book addiction to defining literary fiction and a multitude of booky byways and arty cul-de-sacs along the way.
