PR Forum

On Tue., 13th March Evensys organized the first PR Forum in Romania.

I attended two of the 4 sessions, thanks to my boss, Raluca, and here I wrote about the event (in Romanian).

RoBlogFest - 18th Place!

And so RoBlogFest 2007 came and went, and there was a biiiiig afterparty with lots and lots of bloggers (when I realized you had to put your name on a list on the roblogfest.ro website in order to attend the party, there were already 400 & sth people and a maximum of 300 places so I gave up (Suzi couldn't come, anyway :p)). And the contest winners were announced at the party, some of them controversial (in an Eurovision-kind-of-controversy), others well-deserving... but this is less important, since all the top winners are well-known Romanian bloggers and I'm sure it was their internet fame that brought them the votes.

But you must be wondering what WE did, that is to say my blog and I ;))

Well, surprisingly, we ended up on the 18th position in the "Best blogs" category and we're very proud to be in the Top 20, from a total of 215 blogs listed for this category.

As regards the other two categories, Disentangling the Web (Romanian version) came out 23rd in the "Best personal blog" category and 21st in the "Best post" section.

And I'm happy, and I thank all those who gave me my 11 votes :-)

Yours,

Chris

the game of hazard

Sometimes I play a fun game:

I open one one or another of my favorite blogspot.com blogs , I read whatever there is to read and then I press the "Next Blog" button and read another random blog, then press next again... and so on until I get bored, or I'm late for wherever I'm going, or the Next button simply disappears (on customized pages).

My findings today are:

• Carlota Duarte - Sem imaginação - the musings of an 18 year-old religious girl from Portugal;
• Raedwald - A London blogger writing a boat's blog :-)
• Pala-pala - A French photo blog.
• Shelley's blog - A personal blog of a Canadian lady (I must read this one in detail, seems interesting).
• The Sociopath Daily - daily postings from the "crazy world" series.

...am I insane, or is it just normal human curiosity to always want to click & see what's NEXT?

The One Million Masterpiece

I read about The One Million Masterpiece project on Madalina Macovei's blog on Yahoo 360. She has submitted a drawing of her own that was featured in an OMM calendar.

The One Million Masterpiece is a project aimed at bringing together the drawings of one million people from all over the world in a huge online patchwork image. All the money resulted from this project are donated to charity, as the website states.

I really liked the image below, which is the work of a 16 year old highschool student from the US, called Quian Zhao. On his OMM profile you can see a Flash film that shows the creation of his drawing, step by step. Pretty impressive!

You can also visit Quian Zhao's profile by clicking on the link below. I'm thinking of contributing with my own drawing to this project - what about you?
