Web 2.0 Workgroup
During my time in Silicon Valley I've been staying in the TechCrunch house with Michael Arrington and Frederico Oliveira (Gabe Rivera of memeorandum fame is also here currently). Mike, Fred and I all blog on the topic of Web 2.0 - so we thought why not create a Web 2.0 network. As you do. It's called Web 2.0 Workgroup.
Our blogs are all complementary - Mike blogs on new products; Fred blogs on usability, design and dev; I blog about Web 2.0 trends and developments. It's likely that a subscriber to any one of our feeds would also be interested in reading the other 2 feeds. So we thought why not promote that. We'll probably expand this and invite other bloggers to join too, because there are many other quality Web 2.0 blogs out there.
If you look on the right-hand side of my site, you'll see a Web 2.0 Workgroup logo. This links through to a landing page.
On a personal note, I've become good friends with Mike, Fred and Gabe while I've been staying here. Mike has been very generous in giving us all a place to stay. I'll stop being sappy now. Check out the Web 2.0 Workgroup and let us know what you think.

Actually Bryan, it's Slawesome!
I already read all three blogs, but this will no doubt help people interested in web 2.0 find more good content. Great work!

Richard: I rolled a master rss feed for the Web 2.0 working group here:
http://elfURL.com/54u
Mashed it up with our new beta app FrankenFeed and then shorted the URL with elfURL. Sorry we didn't get a chance to chat at the show. Big fan of your blogging projects.

Very neat and powerful. Wondering if you guys have thought about the group past the immediacy of putting all your feeds on one page.

Hi,
Brian,
Master feed is great!
Anyway to organize the master feed by date on the post vs the Web site?
Regards,

Hope u meant "complementary", not "complimentary"

fixed the spelling mistake, thanks Joe.
We're looking at ways we can improve the UI and do more things. Think of it as a beta ;-) (I know, that's a web 2.0 cliche already!).

Nice. Over here, on the other U.S. coast, in NYC, I've been thinking of a Web 2.0 Meetup. I'd love to start it, but don't have time to organize it every month. If somebody is up for setting it up, I'm sure a lot of people would be interested...

This is a good way of collecting link minded outlets.
One question - what about doing the same thing with podcasting?
