Although "The Science Guy" still has the rest of the week to work on his rating, I was wondering how others rated the "gloggers."

My wishlist:
Glogging a permanent fixture of the website, maybe monthly instead of weekly? Email notification of updates. Also, a nice to have would be an aggregator of space blogs, ie blogs.planetary.org would be a "repeater" of other blogs, such as MRO, Phoenix, etc. and invite other scientists to create blogs. I could probably manage the second two with some kind of RSS/Atom/XML software, but I don't want to have to deal with it. Also, I don't know of all the available blogs, and it would be nice to have a single site with all of them. -------------------- Space Enthusiast Richard Hendricks

Others at the Society agree that the 'gloggers' were a success, and we definitely want to do more of it. I'm not sure how regular it will be, but we'll try to continue featuring guests. There's several people in the business who have an open invitation to send me their musings any time they feel like sharing.  QUOTE (hendric @ Oct 19 2006, 01:20 PM) Email notification of updates. There's an RSS feed -- that's the easiest way to find out about updates.

I'm not sure about aggregating all space blogs, but I am putting together a page for the weblog with links to the sites I find most useful...anyone can email me at blog@planetary.org with your favorites and I'll include them on my list! --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

I don't envy you in the selection process. I'm sure there are nutcases out there with "space-related" websites, which is a very loose description, who'll say, "Hey, I'm a TPS member. Why don't you link to my site?" |

It could be done simply, limit it to official blogs and/or blogs of scientists on a mission team. That's unbiased and fair. Of course, I guess there is a whole section like space.com's blog, but, well, it's a start at least... |

Sure, if one is affiliated with, for example, HiBlog. I suspect, though, that there are many TPS members who have non-official blogs or websites who might feel differently.  EDIT: In fact, under the ciriterion of "official blogs and/or blogs of scientists on a mission team," even UMSF wouldn't be linked. This post has been edited by AlexBlackwell: Oct 20 2006, 10:40 PM |

EDIT: In fact, under the ciriterion of "official blogs and/or blogs of scientists on a mission team," even UMSF wouldn't be linked. Simple, UMSF isn't a blog. Thus, it wouldn't deserve mention as one;-) Maybe an exception could be added for professional news organizations, people with news media access, or something like that... TPS would qualify, space.com's blog, and maybe another one or two... Seriously, I wouldn't expect anyone to link to my blog, my personal one, mind you. Of couse, I don't update it often enough, but, well... It does have a few points about MRO and HiRISE... The point is, if there is some well-defined criteria, then the debate is over, and one can only petition a change in the rules. I think a compact list of space science blogs is of alot more use than a large list of loosly space-related blogs, but... |

In fact, I would probably be even tougher with my criteria and even ignore some "official" sites.  In any event, I was just putting myself in Emily's shoes by imagining an influx of complaints from disgruntled bloggers who happen to be dues-paying TPS members and felt they were being ignored. |
