Instablogs lists seven of 50 blogs to come
Instablogs (which, oddly, has no permalinks to posts, and only feeds comments to RSS) releases a second cartoon. This one features Nandini Maheshwari joining Nick Denton, Jason Calacanis, and someone (can anyone ID him?) on a sidewalk, where a sponsor picks whom to pay.
They also list topics for seven of the 50 blogs they’ll launch on October 5: Luxury lifestyle, personal finance, astronomy, children of third world, obesity, beach life, and housekeeping. You can feel the topics slide from “marketable” to “pardon?” Depending on how open they get with their numbers, this could be a fascinating experiment in the profitability and popularity of blog topics not traditionally associated with commercial blogging.
I also learned a new insult: “brickbats”. Such are the benefits of a blog network published from India.
