Meet my Neigbours (Neighbors) 2000 bloggers

Published by at 2:58 pm under 2000bloggers,blogging,community,General,neighbors,neighbours

Good Lord! I’m surrounded by cats! My neighbour to the left owns 5, and the lady to the right owns 7. We have a dog. It should be interesting.

I’m referring to the meteoric rise of the 2000 bloggers initiative by Tino Buntic. Are you over the excitement of seeing your face on the mosaic, yet? Enjoying the” link love”?

How about taking it to the next step, and getting to know your neighbours. Left and right, above and below. And then take it one step further, write a little about them. So….

Meet My Neigbours

Elaine Vigneault Elaine Vigneault

Elaine writes about herself… “I’m an amateur whiner, professional hippy, and fat vegetarian who graduated beauty school but dropped out of law school. I write about my dog, my poker player husband, and various emo shit. ”

Hi Eliane (seriously, either this is an old photograph, or you need to redefine your definition of “fat”)! I enjoyed reading your bio – you write well, and very candidly. I really like your style. Elaine lives in Manhattan with her husband and 5 cats, and has a blogging mother-in-law!

Sam Lamp Sam Lamp - The Waterfall Hunter

Sam writes “I am a self taught computer geek, photography nut, and web designer. I live in southern Vermont and I am happily married with 7 katz. Yes I said 7. Looks like I am going to be changing my email address soon.”

Hi Sam nice to meet you, by the way – I HATE moving too. Sam is really into photography and has some really great photography and Flickr tips and cool photos on her blog.

Graeme Villeret Graeme Villeret editeur internet

Graeme writes “My blog is about my work, my life (not the same ??), technology, sciences, life, world… oh, la la…”

Bonjour Graeme – c’est un plaisir pour vous rencontrer. Unfortunately my french is incredibly rusty, but it appears that Graeme edits the following websites and more; www.populationdata.net, www.lesbaleines.net, www.searchenginesdir.com, www.worldpopclock.com, www.auroresboreales.com, www.montrealcafe.com. I think Graeme lives in Quebec Canada and all these websites must keep him incredibly busy. I can’t see any reference to pets….

Megan Taylor Megan Taylor

Megan writes: “SOJo: Student of Online Journalism is a blog about the Web, the media, journalism, and classes related thereto. I am a Junior at the University of Florida studying journalism and linguistics. I work at the UF Computing Help Desk, where I am a consultant. I love to write, play with words, and discover new ways to take advantage of technology.”

Hi Megan (great name :)) I see you have changed your major 3 times (must be something to do with the name – I changed mine 5 times)! Megan is 20 and lives in Gainesville Florida. Not suprisingly, as a student of online Journalism, Megan writes extremely well and her first precocious foray into computing was with DOS commands at the age of five, a hint of things to come…

So, these are my four very different neighbours and I’d like to challenge every one of the (soon to be) 2000 bloggers to write a short piece about their neighbours.

Update: As Megan has pointed out in the comments, the neighbours above and below may well change (? due to display size, screen resolution etc?) but it can still be done for the neighbours to the LEFT and RIGHT.

    I don’t know if more bloggers were added or if the page is loading differently, but we’re not neighbors anymore! ::sniff::

  2. # Megon 03 Feb 2007 at 3:54 pm

    Oh that’s a bugger! Maybe it depends on screen resolution or display size. It should still work to the left and right though??

    Hi Meg –

    I’m on 2000 Bloggers, too, and I like your idea of “getting to know the neighbors.” I may mimic your post one of these days and introduce my nearest 2000 Bloggers neighbors to my readers as you have done.

    Cheers!

    P.S. Thanks for stopping by my page on MyBlogLog.

    Hi Bobbie

    I think it’s a nice way to get to know other bloggers. You must be busy keeping up all those blogs – now that’s a niche!

    Elaine (my cyber-neighbor) has done just that …

    Thanks for stopping by.

    Your effort is definitely worthy of a mention.

    Hello from a fellow 2000!

    Hi Viamarie

    You have a very cute blog. 33 years of marriage – wow! All the best.

    Narrowband – thanks for dropping by – congrats making it into 2000 (are we going to meet YOUR neighbours?)

    Good idea to profile like this. There are so many faces. Got to be some way to winnow them down. :)

    Great Idea and Elaine is far from fat. lol

    Hi Meg.

    Yeah I was going to say… I think it’s possible to get moved around a little bit, while the list settles into its final formation.

    I hope I stay where I am now tho, #21 or so!!

    Hi ! :-)

    No pets, I live in a forest, and there are lots of animals : squirrels, black bears, mooses, lynx, hares… etc.

    Yes, I’m terribly busy, I’ve 20 sites… but I don’t do anything else :-)

    Et c’est pas si pire votre français :-) Bonne journée !

  24. # Megon 28 Feb 2007 at 12:01 pm

    Bonjour Graeme,

    Thanks for stopping by – wow, 20 sites! I though 2 and a blog was challenging…

    I guess I’m still surrounded by animals 😉

    Nice to meet you :)
