As I’ve pointed out before, there’s been a boom in bloggers in the aid world – or aidbloggers, as I like to call them (never let it be said that I’m not creative). How on earth does one keep track of them all?
Thanks to the tireless Tom Longley (and with a hat tip to Candide), I’m happy to announce that we have an answer. Hosted on the Aid Workers Network site, our Aidblogs aggregator will collect all the blogs from the aid world we can find.
The criteria is simply that the blogs deal with life and work issues for aid workers (whether national or international), and that it’s active. We have a good number up there now, but we’re always looking for more – so feel free to add your suggestions in the comments box on this blog.
There you go. Aidblogs. The wave of the future. Somebody call Ethan Zuckerman and tell him.

Alright Paul — Thanks for blogging about the Aidblogs page. It’s certainly a modest and interesting start we (well, you did the hard work!) have made, and I look forward to seeing it develop in the coming months as we add new journals and spread the word about the service.
Neatly tying up two waggling threads on this blog, one of the newest entries in the aidblogosphere comes from none other than our old friend the Emergency Capacity Building (ECB) Project, whose team now blog at http://www.ecbteamblog.blogspot.com. It may not be the raciest read on the web, but it does offer a window on the joys (and otherwise) of this unique collaborative venture.
Hey, great! Thanks for the shout-out and congratulations on the new project.
