New blog about world go news

Post by Stevenson »

Hey, all.

Since justplaygo is not updated for a relatively long time I decided to start a similar blog about world go news (mostly news about pros).

http://worldbaduk.blogspot.com/

Feel free to express your thoughts, what you'd like to see on the blog. My premium task now is to keep updating it as often as possible to keep it alive.

Hope to see you on my blog! Have fun.

Nice, but... Add download sgf links, add eidogo diagrams instead of flash viewer if browser does not support it (like it's done on gokifu.com).

Good luck.

I wonder, why is it impossible nowadays to make it a (sustainable) collective effort. It is not that there are so many readers out there that being the most read one has much benefits. So why split the coverage between hundreds of blogs? (And none of them is comprehensive at all. Valerio Sampieri is pretty comprehensive but limited to results, most news / comment / story blogs are not even able to follow up in kind when they make a long report about the first game of a title match. And it is unlikely that any small group / individual writer will ever achieve this.)

Tapir, it's still a community of bloggers. We at Go Game Guru have a different opinion. And if you give us some time we will do our best to show you :).
