Marc passed this through our bn Skype chat a moment ago:
One reason I read so many blog feeds is so I can see trends and business opportunities before anyone else does. One thing I’ve been seeing is the very rapid rise of Blognation. It already is my eighth most favorite blog (according to Google Reader’s trends) and it just started a few months ago. Yesterday Daniel Graf, Kyte.tv’s CEO, told me that on a recent trip to Europe that’s all he heard from geeks over there. Blognation has bloggers in dozens of countries with more coming soon.

This is truly part of the vision of blognation. We are a group of writers from all over the world with a singular passion for tech. We love to write, we love to contribute. Of course we all like the shiny new things, but I think we’re also in this for a critical ingredient–perspective. We’re here to give a new perspective. Things like, ya the iPhone is awesome, but in Canada it will likely fall flat because of it’s high retail price and the fact that data rates push the monthly cost to $300 for a cell plan. That’s my perspective. Things like how Japan has a totally different system and concept for startups. How Europe is not the U.S. Heck how Canada isn’t the U.S.
It all comes down to the bn tagline: "One nation, many voices."
Now it’s time for me to get writing so we can move up on Scoble’s reading list.
