kangmi: learning korean

A Blog Carnival is a particular kind of blog community. There are many kinds of blogs, and they contain articles on many kinds of topics. Blog Carnivals typically collect together links pointing to blog articles on a particular topic. A Blog Carnival is like a magazine. It has a title, a topic, editors, contributors, and an audience. Editions of the carnival typically come out on a regular basis (e.g. every monday, or on the first of the month). Each edition is a special blog article that consists of links to all the contributions that have been submitted, often with the editors opinions or remarks.

There is so much stuff in the blog-o-sphere, just finding interesting stuff is hard. If there is a carnival for a topic you are interested in, following that carnival is a great way to learn what bloggers are saying about that topic. If you are blogging on that topic, the carnival is the place to share your work with like-minded bloggers.

I’m still formulating what kind of content a carnival of this sort should have. Clearly posts about learning Korean would be included. Wyatt’s post on learning a new expression would be a candidate if we’d had a blog carnival back then. I would welcome suggestions on what other kind of content to include.

I plan to host the first one (to be released on March 1), but I am hereby recruiting readers to host subsequent ones. If you’re interested, .

However, let’s consider the name. The Kangmi Blog Festival is unsuitable. Although it’s certainly not about me, that’s what I’ll end up naming it for lack of something better.

Here’s where you can help. your ideas for a name for this thing. I might pick the one I like the best, or I might do a poll. The winner will receive a brand-new World Language Repeater.

The deadline for contest entries is February 1.
