Koen Vervloesem nominated my blog in a list of seven blogs he’d like to share with the word. I’m quite honoured, since his blog is definitely a notch above average, intellectually.

It’s one of them hot potato things, so i’ll pass it on – trying to distinguish the less common blogs in my feedreader that could be of interest. Seems like i don’t read that many obscure blogs … i’m a herd webivore (dang).

The German Component: blog by a spanish person living in Belgium, so i’ve got no idea why it’s called like that. Nice blog of small trivia, with a different angle.

Shoob: Francois Lamotte’s blog. Less active lately, probably since he started freelancing, but it used to be a good source of early adopter info.

Igvita: OK, not exactly a small blog. Ilya Grigorik won one of the Ruby Heroes award at Railsconf 2008, and with good reason: his blog is incredibly useful for all kind of small ruby or rails tricks. Kudos to Ilya for generously sharing hard-won knowledge.

Peter Van Dijck’s guide to ease: Peter Van Dijck is a kind of Information Architecture guru. His blog is interesting because he’s actually microblogging: one-liners, referencing things he likes. Plus he (sometimes) talks about IA, which is a side-interest of mine.

Catalog of visual interestingness (?): Johan ‘wolfr’ is one of the netlash coworkers (thanks Bart for the correction ). He also seems to be a man of taste: he gathers in this blog pictures he likes, and i tend to like what he selects. FFFOUND type of blogs are way to prolific to follow on a normal day – this is a more human-paced blog.

Where is Ploum ?(french) is a blog with few, but long posts. And funny. Written by a young IT guy with a preference for open source, a critical eye on today’s society, and bad luck with dogs.

Brutin.be: acidic, acerbic, neurotic, bitchy, you name it. But when he’s on a roll, it’s a good read.

Of course, i browse some of the usual suspects on the belgian blogscape (Tales of drudgery and boredom, Lamazone, bnox, eMich, Denis …), not to mention the Boingboings, slashdots and Techcrunches of this world. I don’t think they need any link love, particularly.
