Nonplatonic.com
So I'm participating in a group blog that Ben has set up at http://www.nonplatonic.com/
Ben has more or less turned his old blog into this new one and a bunch of us are posting on it. Every good group blog I know of has some kind of theme or topic — and the posters on the blog are extremely knowledgeable about that topic. This allows the blog to form a coherent identity.
We don't have a topic, and none of us is particularly knowledgeable about anything of importance (except for maybe Anwar), so it should be an interesting experiment, to say the least.
We've structured it so that comments (by us) on posts are also on the front page. We'd like it to be less a blog than a public conversation among friends. Of course Ben seems to be using it as his main blog, so you can look forward to lots of poems from poets you've never heard of, quotations from books you read in high school, and, of course, Juliet Binoche. You can also look forward to the rest of us piling on when Ben writes something stupid. Nonplatonic is an odd name for a blog by seven friends — to the best of my knowledge none of us has nonplatonic feelings for any of the others — it is a vestige from Ben's earlier days.
I'll still be posting here, but I'll be posting things I'd like to have a conversation with them about at nonplatonic.com. We'll see how it goes.
