A few words about @vietnamblogs

On the right hand side of this blog you’ll see my complete English blogs in Vietnam list.

From that I use RSS via Twitterfeed to ensure that, as they are updated, they are tweeted via VietnamBlogs. I’ve also added a Facebook page that should essentially do the same job.

Just a quick word regarding criteria for inclusion. I’ve tried to avoid photo blogs, Tumblrs and the like unless they’re more than just a pic or a link.

I’m also keeping it to Vietnam-based bloggers only. Firstly because that’s the point and secondly for self-preservation. If you’ve an axe to grind with Vietnam then that’s your business. I’m not going to be the one left here to face the music if you over step the mark. Likewise I don’t endorse any blogs or bloggers. Their views are their own.

Finally criteria for inclusion above is neither absolute or exhaustive. In the end it’s my ball and I’ll take it home if I want to. As an example I probably won’t  include many commerical blogs but, yes, The Cart’s news blog is there. Because I can. Then again so is the Metropole’s for no other reason than it’s not bad at all. But if you’re not at the party then there’s nothing stopping you from having your own bash. Likewise feel free to leave details of any blog I’ve overlooked below and if they fit then I’ll add them at the next update.

In the end it’s a hub for bloggers. It’s all about shared posts that otherwise might not have had many readers. With the growth of Facebook and Twitter, blogging is less popular than it was so perhaps it needs a little help.

Finally, I’m also more than happy to retweet community causes, job offers, requests for help and anything else I find of interest.
