Olympic Blogging for the Athletes

by Aaron Brazell on February 10, 2006 · 8 comments

A few days ago, I announced the launch of Light the Torch whereby the b5media network would attempt to blog the games from a wide and varied group perspective. Today, we have connected with some other blog networks (and some we are still waiting for the affirmative head nod) to join up as a truly wide open group blog that network bloggers (and non-network for that matter) as a whole can participate in. We’ve decided that all ad revenue and proceeds from the blog will go to athlete’s organizations which will be announced later.

This is a great opportunity for the blogging community to band together and raise money for agreat groups. Our goal is to raise $5000, but more than that would be better.

For more details, see the Updates on Our Olympics Blog at b5media.

And come participate. It’s not just about networks. :)

“u hav prblms with sex? try Viagra”

I’m guessing we’ll have some kind of filter, but that could still get interesting.
