Blog Day!
Today is one of 365 special days each year dedicated to broadening your view of the world.
This happens to be a day when everyone jumps on the bandwagon, and I’ve
said recently I would join all y’all for the hay-ride. So here’s a
special post to stay in the blog day spirit of things.
There are many great blogs around the world to point you; to narrow
down the field, I’ve tried to limit myself to blogs that are inherently
multilingual, or devoted to wikis. (Here I avoid the ones that show up in the excellent African
aggregator in the sidebar; I’ll do a separate post on developing world blogs, and plug the Bridge Blog Index, et. al.).
- Luistxo (in Basque, et al) — discussions of technology and openness from Basque country
- Hoder
(in Persian & English) — all sorts of mad thoughts on society,
technology, law or culture; especially regarding Iran. [NB: not
very comment-friendly sj] - Meta
(in Chinese & English) — possibly the best blog title ever.
many interesting political, social, and technological ideas see first
light here - Jeż Węgierski (Polish mainly) — the reason I’m learning Polish.
- Frisco love (In all the world’s tongues. Dubbed in English.) Hmm, how did that get in there?
- Work in progress (German mainly) — more about Brockhaus and encyclopedias than even I can shake a stick at
- Wikimetrics (English mainly) — a perfect blog title. Delightful images, research, and prose.

if you are learning polish, you should make friends with my friend mad_eponine (aka tom) who is a native speaker and information scientist. You should probably make friends anyway. Tell ’em I sent ya. http://www.livejournal.com/users/mad_eponine/
