Y otro bloguero español comentando en mi blog! Estupendo! Bienvenida Encarna, y gracias
Tienes razón, ya conformamos un gran comunidad multinacional de blogueros. Solo hay que hacer el esfuerzo de construir puentes entre las bulas lingüísticas. Y eso es precisamente lo que vosotros españoles están haciendo comentando así en mi blog! Ahora tengo que comentar más en vuestros blogs :-/

¿No conformamos ya entre todos un gran “blog de blogs” colectivo europeo, multilingüe, además? Saludos. Fantástico tu blog.

Je pense qu’il est préférable d’avoir une collaboration entre les blogs pour faire connaître la grande inconnue que constitue l’Union européenne, ce qui peut être fait en utilisant “Bloggingportal.”

Salut,

Jorge Juan Morante

@Ralf,
I think it’s necessary that national Euroblogospheres get more structured but what it also necessary is to build bridges between the various national bubbles and have common spaces where we can exchange, like Bloggingportal.
Completely agree with the fact we need to comment on blogs that don’t speak our language.

@Mathew, I’m sure they’ll find the necessary ressources as they don’t seem to have the kind of dilemas we are having maybe because they are not structured yet! We are still not structured but there are many of us, which is not their case.

@Eurogoblin, Julien and I will meet with Jean-Sébastien from Europa451 soon in Brussels to discuss all of this.

Excellent effort! Can we extend a formal invitation to join the Bloggingportal effort to the French circle? I’m sure they would be most welcome!

I actually commented on their post, but it hasn’t been published yet … ;-(

If I understand them correctly, some of their ideas mirror in a way some of my more ambitious proposals for developing BP (cf ‘Sections’) , so it’s interesting to see convergent evolution in action.

By helping people find out what people are saying about the EU in social media, BP fills a need and helps stimulate the emergence of EU-wide conversations about Europe.

Of course, it could do what it does a lot better, but given that it’s run entirely on volunteer labour it’s remarkable that it exists at all.

And finding resources for their ideas – which is where we got stuck – is utterly absent from their proposal … ;-(

Europasionaria,

I have followed the French discussion with interest, but I share your sense of bewilderment:

Is it really the best way forward to form national or even linguistic communities of bloggers as an alternative to or competitor with European ones, if the common theme is Europe?

A practical first step: Bloggers in English and French could start by reading and commenting (in their own language) on each others’ blogs. This could be done in a second, and it only takes good will.
