LinkedIn is a pretty dumb pro­fes­sional net­work­ing tool that takes all the fun out of Face­book. I’m on it some­where. If you find me I might accept your invi­ta­tion, but I prob­a­bly won’t.

I haven’t writ­ten a link post for a while. But it’s time. I just dis­cov­ered that a heap of peo­ple I know have blogs that I didn’t know about. And it was pretty much by acci­dent. Peo­ple should be like me and post links to their blogs on Face­book more…

Any­way, here goes, a list of friends or casual acquain­tances, mostly from Bris­bane, who have blogs that are pretty amus­ing. Some I’ve been fol­low­ing for a while, oth­ers not so much… I might do it in order of the length of time I’ve been following…

SDAL — Scott’s blog has been on my radar for a while, though I’ve been pretty much a ser­ial lurker. He posted a link on my Face­book sta­tus once when I asked if any­one had blogs that I didn’t know about. He blogs about fun stuff like comic books, art, movies and obscure stuff. I think Ben would like him.

Phil Richo is Andrew’s brother and thus Simone’s brother-in-law. He blogs mostly about pol­i­tics. Which I like. But you might not. If you do. Check him out…

I fol­lowed Phil’s blog to Brad’s blog. Brad offi­cially falls into the casual acquain­tance cat­e­gory because although he linked to one of my posts recently he refused my Face­book advances some time ago. And I hold a grudge. It’s a shame. Because his blog is pretty funny.

The other link on Phil’s blogroll was to Josh Mans­field’s blog, it was inter­st­ing, though I’m not sure why he thinks you shouldn’t say the word crap.

Brad’s blog was a ver­i­ta­ble trea­sure trove of links to others.

Nick Gauci for exam­ple has a blog called a wealth of riches, I had a look, it lives up to it’s name.

Richard Wellauer has set his sights on hav­ing the eighth worst blog ever. Which, given he cur­rently has a few intrigu­ing posts about chem­i­cal ele­ments, is unlikely.

Is any­body else out there in lurker land in pos­ses­sion of a blog that should be plugged?
