The ‘great idea’ I had was this:
There is a proliferation of awards floating around the bloggersphere. Good ones; warranted ones. But is there a book of these available? Do “Best Blog Posts – 2006” (for example) exist, much like, say, this book? I haven’t seen any, but then again, there’s not much of a market for it in Australia.
Is there a market, generally, would you say?
Would you pay for a book of great blog writing?
What say you?
My opinion? I love reading blogs…but I must admit staring at a computer screen is hard on my eyes. I’d really like it in hard copy, in front of me, so I can read as slowly as I like, at whenever time and place I please. Most of you know my first love is books and such to start with, so my bias is hardly surprising.
Don’t mind now about the mechanics of accepting submissions and anything editorial – I’m just after conceptual viability.
Cheers!
(Please, if you think its a dumb idea, don’t be afraid to say so. I must admit, at 10pm at night, I thought it was great. In the cold light of morning, my gremlins of doubt had eaten away my enthusiasm and were coming up with all sorts of – valid – reasons why this might fail. That’s okay. I suppose… I’ll just keep saying to myself, “That which you can conceive, you can achieve”)
