Here we go

Blogarithmicly is a sort of blog hypercarnival. Monthly i'll collect the best posts that are single-subject link harvests. These are posts that can be viewed as being similar to a carnival in that they collect a series of links on a particular topic, BUT they are collected by single individuals or single blogs and are on more temporal subjects (on a particular scientific discovery, or a certain political scandal for instance -- as opposed to a carnival's topics of science or politics).

This is not a travelling carnival like most, but simply a compilation here of the best of the best. Other than not rotating hosts (which we might someday if i find there is enough interest to actually make it happen) this will work like the usual carnival -- we will focus on individual posts -- although we're looking more for encyclopedic postings of links than extensive writing.

Submissions/nominations will be accepted by email at any time at milkriver. Please put "blogarithmicly" in the subject line.

We also will use posts we find in our weekly surfing that we find appropriate for the carnival.

The first Blogarithmicly we hope to be online Thursday, September 1, 2005.

For an example of what we're looking for, check out the excellent array of links assembled at Science & Politics on the New York Times' Intelligent Design series by Bora Zivkovic.
