Continuing the Dialogue Online: Blog Carnivals

Blog carnivals: Furthering community online
Blog carnivals: Furthering community online
With so many disparate voices in the blogosphere, it can seem like dialogue is often relegated to the background. That’s where blog carnivals come in, bringing people together online to discuss specific topics, from sexual violence to the decline of democracy.
Blog carnivals fall somewhere between an online magazine and a community blog. Submissions are collected, chosen and hosted on a specific topic at a certain blog, which often rotates between participants. Blog carnivals are fast becoming more popular and provide a great information and dialogue resource, as well as a  wide diversity of opinions. Hosting your own blog carnival is a great way to interact with other bloggers and activists interested in the same issues.
Some blog carnivals I’ve come across recently:
African Women Carnival
Erase Racism Carnival
German-American Relations Carnival
There’s also a directory of blog carnivals where you can browse current carnivals, find out upcoming carnival dates, and add your own to the listings.
