I have been invited along to the Irish Blog Awards by my delightfully geeky friend Darragh, so I thought it an appropriate time to get this blogrolling.

Firstly, congratulations to all the nominees at the awards. The final shortlist has been announced and I have linked to each of the sites below:

Best Blog Finalists

• Bock The Robber
• Ice Cream Ireland
• Maman Poulet
• On The Record
• Fatmammycat.com
• Beaut.ie
• Twenty Major
• Gingerpixel
• Irish Flirty Something
• Grannymar

I am in awe of all these people who are essentially modern day journalists. It’s inspiring to see how much of a reaction they get from the general public. The comments and discussions sparked by these (often insightful, often bizarre) blogs is evidence that people today want more than a pompous commentary from Kevin Myers or a biased review from a press censored reviewer. And, of course, people want to talk about Ice Cream, which is not done enough on RTE’s SixOne News.

I’m looking forward to meeting some of the faces behind the words and I can only hope to have a fraction of their readership in the future. I can only imagine the satisfaction they must have from knowing that so many people are interested in what they have to say and look forward to each blog entry with anticipation.

Some day…some day!
