Introducing We Blog the World, a new blog I’ve been working on for a few months.
The creation of this blog was pushed forward to prepare for an upcoming blogging tour I’ll be taking with 11 other bloggers to South Africa in late November. More on the International Marketing Council sponsored tour in a follow up post including a list of participating bloggers.
We Blog the World is dedicated to global storytelling from multi-faceted views. These stories range from general travel experiences, background on a country’s infrastructure, economic changes and the effect they have on one part of the world to social changes, the political landscape, cultural nuances, art and music.
Together with other bloggers from around the world, we’ll write about the latest Web 2.0 solutions, green technology and other tech initiatives that are making an impact internally and externally. Some posts may include an interview with a CEO or founder so you’ll get a flavor of the personality behind the innovation. You’ll also catch posts on travel logistics as well as food, wine and fun things to do, all with rich photographs and video to help narrate the experience.
Look for updates here and on We Blog the World in the next week as we gear up for the tour. A screenshot of the home page below although I suspect there will be some tweaks between now and we head off. Thanks to Michael Gray, a WordPress and SEO genius who has been helping me make this launch possible.
