Now here's an interesting trend: blog carnivals. Here's the intro from one of them: the Philosophers' Carnival: "This site is the homepage for the Philosophers' Carnival project, which aims to provide a forum to showcase philosophical posts from a wide range of weblogs. We are modelled upon Carnival of the Vanities and Tangled Bank. (See also Carnivalesque, a new carnival about the 'early modern' period in history.) Unlike those other carnivals, however, this one is restricted to philosophy-related blog posts." The rest of the page describes the process of creating a carnival, and provides links to the previous Philosophers' Carnivals, each of which was hosted by a different blog. There have been four so far; the fifth is in preparation. It looks like a promising collaboration model which avoids the usual dependence on one overworked editor.
Hey if anyone here is interested, I have a new blogger carnival going relating to guns:
