Cambridge Blogs

I've been doing a quick (hah - it's taken much longer than I thought) survey of Cambridge (UK) blogs. By a blog here, I basically mean something with an RSS or Atom feed. I've also restricted myself to individual or small group blogs.

So far I've found about 35 active sites using a mixture of Google, Technorati, and following other peoples blogrolls. I'm in two minds whether to list the sites here directly or just keep them on delicious. So far I've not really added any description for the sites, but I'll go through the list now and have a go at that as I get some time. I'll also try to add the rest of the feeds to my Blogroll.

I estimated there to be somewhere between 100 and 200 blogs in Cambridge before I started (guessing 1 in a 1000 are bloggers in the city basically). I haven't really searched everything yet, so there could easily be as many again that I haven't found, which would give 70 or so, which is not far off.

Anyway, if you are blogging in Cambridge (UK) and you see this, post a comment and I'll add you to the delicious list (or just post there with the tags Cambridge and blog and I'll see it when I next check that feed).

Update: I've now got about 45 sites, and I'm starting to see links back to sites I've seen already. There seem to be a lot of LiveJournalists in Cambridge. I've turned trackback on for this post (it's going off again if I get a lot of spam) so you can use that too now.

Update 06.06.01: I've updated the del.icio.us list of Cambridge blogs as of earlier this year - there's 60 odd blogs in there, but it's in no way comprehensive. There's also Geoff Jones's list of Cambridge blogs. I've closed comments, if you want me to add you to the list, then mail me, or just tag yourself with "cambridge" and "blog" in del.icio.us and I'll see it eventually.
