I say we start our own realirishblogs.ie and not let them play! Tom Like I said John - their definition seems extremely arbitrary - they include Karlin but not you or I.

Well Karlin writes the Net Results column in each Friday's Irish Times so there is a link with Ireland. Now that Karlin is moving back to the USA, the link would depend on contributions to Irish publications and if the Irish Times continues to have a Friday technology section. On the IT grounds it would be an Irish related blog. From what I can see, Irishblogs.ie was just cargo-culting along with a list of blogs.

The people running Irishblogs.ie (Browseireland) have been paying attention to the blog here but somehow I don't think that they would even risk putting it on their list. After all, they seem to have got most of their ideas from here. :) The definition is broad enough to include blogs operated by Irish people or people living in Ireland and blogs that concentrate mainly on Irish matters. (The definition is almost getting to the "What have the Romans ever done for us?" stage.) A very broad definition Tom,

How broad is your definition? Is my blog Irish? It is owned by an Irish citizen (me!), and hosted in Ireland, but it is a .net, not a .ie and the subject matter is not specifically Irish. Irishblogs certainly don't seem to think my blog is Irish! I still reckon, it depends very much on how you define “Irish Blogs” John. How broad is your definition?

Is my blog Irish? It is owned by an Irish citizen (me!), and hosted in Ireland, but it is a .net, not a .ie and the subject matter is not specifically Irish.

Irishblogs certainly don’t seem to think my blog is Irish!
